There was no surprises with this airbnb other than Petra was over and above a super host. She is a phenomenally interesting person.
This airbnb is exactly as stated: it is a safe and clean home in an urban environment and near the subway system to venture into Manhattan for the NYC experience. Be mindful that you are in The Bronx and expect all that "The Bronx" brings with it. We chose to park in a lot nearby for $15/day rather than take the added risk parking on the streets, but that is a choice we made. There are no dining restaurants nearby/walking distance, but Little Italy is a short car ride. There are take out places for Dominican food, but we didn't stumble upon them.
If you are looking for an inexpensive way to explore Manhattan and you are ok with a very urban/latino environment and taking the subway this is a great option. Do take earplugs as the latin culture is one for a loud party in the streets all night long.
TY Petra for sharing your home with my family.
