Very nice, clean, modern basement apartment. Everything seems new and very up to date. Great decor and I would choose this opposed to a hotel any day. Hosts are very hospitable and go above and beyond to make sure the tenants are happy. Very thoughtful hosts. Parking is a little tough and we had to park a block away each time we used the car. However, that may just be typical of NYC. One thing I need to note is that sound echos loudly from the apartment above in the morning. If you are someone who likes to sleep in that could potentially be an issue. I personally get up early and go explore when I’m traveling so the noisy mornings didn’t affect us too much. A slightly transitional neighborhood but I always felt safe. Close to subway. Overall, all things considered we had a great stay.
