The inside of this place is a charm. The upgraded kitchen and bathroom are clean and very comfortable. Love the gas stove and full size frig. The bed and pillows were perfect for us. Slept very well. It was colder than expected outside (15 degrees) and we stayed indoors and it was very comfortable. I had never been to the area, so I was a bit surprised by the subway noise and there is a hospital across the street. You can hear the host family upstairs, but that didn't bother us much because we have a toddler too. It's very secure, as there were three separate doors to enter the unit. Whilst inside, we were at home and very comfortable. Subway stop is just around the corner. The area is definitely up and coming with a lot of construction. Like any other neighborhood going through gentrification, there are pros and cons. Indian food a few blocks over, Indian Masala, was fantastic! Great Corner store around the block with lots of organics.
