The apartment and location were superb for my first solo stay in NYC. Raquel was an awesome host and showed me around a bit when I checked in which I found to be very kind of her and also helpful. Just as listed it's clean, safe, close to shops, a cute park, and transportation. Although I will say, one thing I did notice was the lack of sunlight in the apartment since it is a lower level unit but everything else about my stay was so great that this was easily overlooked! Also the mattress was very comfy.
