This is an amazing place for the price in NYC. It's HUGE for an NYC apartment, and was perfect for our group of 5 - everyone pretty much had their own bed/room. The subway directly across the street gets you anywhere you need to be in about a half hour. The host met us at the apartment for check-in and showed us around, showed us how to use the keys/locks, and gave us good neighborhood recommendations for things close by (such as a supermarket a block and a half away that we may not have found otherwise). The place is very safe and secure, there's a gate that locks and two subsequent doors with deadbolts. We couldn't have asked for a better stay.
