A fantastic experience. Monica is awesome, thoughtful and tuned in to when privacy is needed. But if you want some friendly assistance she's at your service . The mattress was super comfortable. Place is spotless, quiet and a bargain for the price. It's about 2 blocks from the 6 subway line and about 45 minutes to midtown manhattan. I had a studio apt., with a private entrance, strong wifi, nice tv, my own bathroom and a good little kitchenette. It's important for me to select Airbnb accommodations that are actually part of someone's home so my money stays in the community, helps a family, and doesn't go to landgrabbers . Monica's neighborhood is working class, low key and modest. I felt safe. But the streets get pretty empty late at night so - caution anywhere at night is a good idea IMO. My favorite place for lunch or take out was the fish market by Key Foods - ask Monica. I originally picked Monica's place for location -because I had a weekend gig at "Bronx Academy of Art and Dance" around the corner. But even if my plans were all in Manhattan - I would stay at Monica's again because it's so close to the subway and you get more space for the price. Most of all, Monica makes you feel like family in the big city.
