Great choice for NYC accommodation! Much cheaper than hotels in Manhattan or Brooklyn. The apartment was larger than I expected, and was more than comfortable for two guests. Took about 50 minutes to get into the city each morning. Free parking is a huge bonus because most hotels charge $50 USD+ per night. We were mostly lucky with finding a spot but once had to drive around for 45 min to find a parking spot and then had to move our car the next morning before 8:30 am. We did see some bugs in the apartment so be aware to keep all your food tightly sealed! The full kitchen with a full fridge was awesome to have. Wifi worked great but the Roku and Netflix unfortunately were very glitchy and we weren't able to get them to work (plus the couch was a bit uncomfortable). The area seemed a bit unsafe to walk around alone at night so just be aware and vigilant. Lots of good food options within walking distance of the apartment which are open late. We didnt see Damien during our stay but he was very responsive over the airbnb app with any questions and he provided clear check in instructions. Overall would recommend, especially if you are traveling to NYC by car
