The description of apartment was overall accurate. Its a nice neighborhood, convenient to subway, dining and shopping. Place was clean and in good shape. Others have mentioned steep stairs and dark entrance. If arriving at night have a light on phone available. Motion light does not come on at gate entrance where there is a step down. Light does come on once you reach apartment entrance. Others have mentioned steepness of steps and agree. Estimate the steps to be approximately a 14" rise. We navigated fine, but think others should be aware. Hosts were quick to communicate. Bed was overall comfortable. The apartment is near subway and you will hear it but for us it was not an issue. Hosts live upstairs and its a older house, so you will hear activity. We heard pipes clanging one evening and assume it was due to heating system and were awakened. We made two requests to arrange storage of luggage around our flight schedule and they were able to accommodate which we appreciated. However, our request to store some food in freezer until departure was denied. We offered to leave passes to a museum we didnt have time to visit and our MTA passes with 2 more days of unlimited rides for the following guests. The host requested not to leave those. Prior reviews mention having some difficulty working with host. While our experience was overall uneventful, we appreciate how past or future guests may or may not be have neen granted special requests.
