This air BnB was 3 blocks from the subway that can take you right into Manhattan or Brooklyn. I didn't really know the area, but the neighborhood seemed pretty safe to me. There are quite a few places to eat breakfast just down the street. The bathroom is shared with the host/other guest. I think other rooms in the house are rented out to guest. Everything was really quiet for me. WiFi and TV worked well. There was a window AC unit in the room! Would definitely recommend.
