Keishera is the ultimate host. Honest, responsive, easy-going, and fun to chat with, she made our first Airbnb experience a blast. She provided all necessary information prior to our arrival, communicated with us throughout our stay, and provided cool suggestions. Her apartment is centrally located, so it's near restaurants and grocery stores. It's also a 5- to 15-minute walk to any major train or bus stop, so you can travel throughout New York City pretty easily. Plus, the apartment was well furnished and very clean! But like any area in NYC, it's not perfect. While the area is safe overall, we did hear police and first-responder sirens at night almost regularly. Don't get me wrong, this is more a noise issue than anything else, as we felt safe throughout our stay. The community is transitioning into a cool little spot for couples and young families, with a lot of fun shops, cafes, and eateries. Overall, we had a lovely time staying here and would love to return again.
