Jeremy and Carsten were the most gracious hosts I've come across on AirBnB. They checked on me several times to make sure everything was going well and I had everything I needed. The apartment was totally private, and gorgeous! I felt like I had stepped into an Ikea catalogue. Located on a quiet street, I felt mostly safe as a solo female traveler in the area, but I wouldn't recommend hanging around outside after dark. It's an easy 5 minute walk to the G train and around 45 minutes to midtown/Times Square area. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
