This area of the Bronx is quiet and safe, and there are plenty of restaurants, shops and pharmacies in the area to walk to. There are also plenty of buses that run in that area but, in order to catch the 6 or the 2 trains, you need to get to the train stations by catching the buses. What I used that made it easy to get around was to download Google maps and put the “from “ and “to” addresses, then google maps will tell you what buses and trains to catch and the stations to walk to. The bus drivers and passengers are also helpful in this regard.
The Airbnb was clean and the host was courteous. It’s basically their residence, though they have rooms they rent out to Airbnb. The host is pleasant and respects your privacy and you have use of the kitchen, your room, the guest bathroom. Basically the place met my needs and was reasonable compared to Airbnbs in the New York City area. I would definitely stay there again. By the way, the 6 and 2 trains go to Manhattan and so do some of the buses, depending on which part of Manhattan you’re going to.
