Communication with Nate is quick and he is always responsive to your needs. Even though there are other people staying in the building, it is quiet and the guests were respectful when I was there. Public transportation is close by. However, I suggest if you are alone and returning at night to take a taxi/Uber. The area is residential so there are not a lot of people on the streets late at night. If your world mostly will be in Brooklyn, Lower East Side, East Village, you are well situated here.
