I stayed for about a week here with my family who was visiting from abroad and we used it as a base from which to explore the city. During our entire stay the internet connection was very flaky. The wifi signal seemed strong throughout the house, but the connection to the internet would go in and out. For example, it was not possible to stream movies reliably. I don't believe it is always like this, but worth checking with the host in case you plan to work from the house or don't have cell reception as a backup, as was the case with my family. Another thing to note is that the house can run a little hot, specially in the basement room, which has no windows or AC. Although there are many beds in the house the fact that it only has 1 bathroom (clearly stated in the listing) can make it tricky for parties greater than 3-4 people to stay comfortably, in my opinion. The house is just a few blocks to the express 2 and 3, which is handy to get to a bunch of interesting spots in the city. Most days we were out and about, which minimized some of the negatives.
