I always look for Air BnB’s where I share the space with the host (s) and have opportunity to exchange dialogue. Yi, was perfect host, we had time to exchange ideas, his apartment was immaculate, secure, price was affordable and proximity to N/R subway line was excellent (2blks). My only negative is that immediate neighborhood could be intimidating for some it is after all a city. To be clear I experienced no problems the people who are on the street showed no aggression and no matter where you stay you should always be aware of your environment. Would I stay with Yi again? Absolutely.
