Baden, Veronica, and Emerson were wonderful hosts! They made me feel very welcome, were extremely helpful, and seemed like genuinely great people. The area was about a 1 minute walk from the 1 Train and within a 1-2 minute walk to various grocery stores, markets, and places to grab a bite to eat. It was my first time exploring New York City alone and with such easy access to everything, I had no problem getting around.
The hosts were not all all intrusive, extremely helpful, and sociable as well. They definitely made for a perfect mix. My last night there I was starting to feel a bit homesick and they invited me to play Monopoly with them and I thought it was a very sweet gesture. They are all working professionals, so they're not always around but were always available for any questions I had that came up throughout the day.
The only thing to keep in mind, depending on your personal preferences, is that the neighborhood is in an area that is a bit more lively. There is some music playing in the background and since it is right off a main street, you will be able to hear the cars passing through, but it wasn't at all an issue for me and wasn't bothersome.
There was a kitchen available to use with refrigerator-space, cupboard-space, utensils, glasses, and cold water. The room had its own AC, the bed was very comfortable, and the closet was extremely spacious. Everything was very clean.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again and am extremely grateful for the wonderful experience that they provided!
