I could not ask for more accommodating hosts when it came to check in times and checkout. I was quite pleased by that because many other hosts wanted us to pay extra, with Daniel and Christianne there was no added cost.
The location may be intimidating at first but, trust me it was extremely safe. There are supermarkets, fast foods restaurants, Caribbean restaurants and drugstores within walking distance. Transportation is a breeze as the bus is a min walk away and takes you straight to the subway station. If you decide to walk to the subway it's about 20- 30 mins walk, which only feels like forever when you don't know where you are going. Oh and the neighbourhood can get loud at times but the AC unit blocks out the sound.
The apartment is exactly as advertised and is EXTREMELY clean and cozy. Instructions on how to get around the neighbourhood was left for us and this was appreciated as we are not from NYC. Tips on places to visit was also extremely thoughtful. The TV is not cable the firestick had some great options, however, no cable became a bother because we had no world cup coverage. BUT the internet was great so we eventually found an online feed.
Overall I will recommend this place!!! It was comfortable and affordable. NYC is known for pests (roaches, rats etc ) and there was NONE!! That along with many other things makes this place a winner.
