It's important to note that this was our first time in NY. We explored different areas in the island during the week we stayed.
The place is a small apartment, to us it looked bigger in pictures but it is expected that apartments in NY will be kind of tight.
Kim is a very thoughtful host, she has clear rules for guests, and she leaves guides and information for their guests and communication was very quick and easy. We enjoyed a comfortable mattress and pillows, which are always a great thing for a good night's sleep. The bed is set up low on the ground... something to consider if you prefer something different.
We like to walk instead of taking an uber everywhere so having a bus stop just a block away was very convenient. We also walked to many other places without taking the bus.
The neighborhood is noisy, as Kim clearly describes, but we still were able to fall asleep with the music and loud conversations on the street. What caught us off guard though were the very noisy neighbors that woke us up in the middle of the night a couple of nights (it sounded like rearranging furniture, but late at night). Some nights we walked back from wherever we were and it did seem like we were reaching a rougher area when we got to the apartment, it even felt a little unsettling at times. But just walking a couple of blocks away from the apartment it gets nicer and you find cafés, restaurants and things to see and do.
