This was my first time to NY and I was very active out and about. If I had come for a more chill, less tourist focused time, like to visit friends/ family this would have been the perfect place. But I didn't know the neighborhoods and New York in general well enough to know this location was not the best choice for this trip.
All that being said, Herman was very nice, the room was clean and incredibly comfortable and the ease of access was great. No complaints about the host or the accommodation, just the location wasn't ideal and that's on me.
