Karen’s place is really convenient; it’s super close to two subway stations, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc. Like some other reviews mentioned, the apartment does have some wear and tear, but definitely not anything that takes away from the stay. It was clean, safe and very quiet. The quietness was a huge plus because it’s so hard to find a quiet place to sleep in the city! Communication was just a bit slow, but Karen did a good job of answering my questions and was patient when I asked her a few things prior to the stay.
