I enjoyed my stay. It reminded me of Oakland a bit with bars, but as our host said it was very quiet and safe. There wasn't any incidents at all while staying there. Our host was helpful in that he picked us up from Airport, and also gave us information on how to get around. I appreciate how he checked on us through the week and made sure we were ok. I didn't have any issues when going to the subway. I felt safe and really enjoyed our apartment and wi-fi. I'd suggest taking an uber or cab back to location especially if out late, just so you won't have to walk the streets super late. Being my first time in NYC I have to say my experience was fantastic. I can't wait to return again for another adventure.
