The host and the place is fabulous. This was a short walk from the Utica station for the A and the C lines so our visit into Manhattan was fairly convenient. The neighborhood itself can be a bit noisy with sirens and weird people, but this is more standard New York thing. The water pressure for the shower is decent but the use of faucet in the kitchen doesn’t affect it. The bed and the loveseat was very comfortable. Place was nice and warm on subzero days.
All of the amenities made out lives so much easier. I didn’t even need to go buy an envelope that I needed out of the blue. There was even a stapler if I needed one. The fridge was full sized so we could get full size jugs of water and milk and still have plenty of room for other stuff. There are local restaurants that are gems but walking too far either south or north of the street seem a little shady. Im used to the city life so it wasn’t a big deal but others may find it uncomfortable late at night. Stay here. You won’t regret it.
