Very clean apartment with more space than one would expect from an Apartment in NYC. The beds are super comfy. The "master" room does get very cold at night with all the single pane windows so pack warmer bed clothes. The area is exactly what one expects from the Bronx- it's not Manhattan. There is a lot of noise- sirens and music, teenagers outside at night; but it seemed completely safe. I walked several blocks with my four, very small, children at night and never worried about a thing. Don't judge the apartment by the outside of the building or surrounding buildings... It's really very nice inside. The neighbors were friendly, and the teenagers dancing in the street late at night were more entertaining than annoying. There are so many great food options locally that also deliver and the ride into Manhattan was fairly quick. Parking, although street parking, was really easy to find even on the weekend at night. The internet is an unsecured network which made the connection spotty but not terrible.
