Greg was a great host and made sure we were well taken care of. I had an event in the Bronx and this was perfectly located for it. Came to the Boogie Down knowing it was going to be lively in ways I don't normally see in Minneapolis, but overall it was actually pretty quiet.
The apartment is on a bigger street in a residential neighborhood, so comes with everything you expect from that - bus stops on major routes, corner deli, daycare (right next door), Kennedy Fried Chicken (nah, son...), family-run restaurant, 2 nearby subway stops (Freeman Street was less than 10 minutes' walk - not an accessible stop, and has a tall stairway to reach the platform). Not very busy with traffic or noise, and enjoyed hearing the neighbors playing live music together on the weekend nights.
I know the Bronx has the reputation for being the wildest and most dangerous borough. We didn't see any of that during the stay, and we were moving around the Bronx and Harlem most of the time. Felt perfectly safe walking around during the day, and being on the block at night was just as chill. Probably advise using a cab when it gets late (about $4 from the subway stop to the door). Regular working-class neighborhood in a megacity. Stay alert and all should be good.
Will stay here again next time I need a spot uptown.
