I stayed a couple days in the spare room of Murat’s 3 BR apartment. My room was next door to his female roommate and across the hall from him. I felt very safe and secure. Murat made me feel welcomed at checkin and he gave me the grand tour! The amenities are really great.
The neighborhood was nice, about what you’d expect in a big city. I liked the nearby bodegas, and restaurants. I walked and used the subway to get everywhere while I stayed here. I felt extremely safe during the day and alert/aware/mostly safe walking home alone late at night.
I would say the room is better than described. There are a lot of nice touches to the decor that you don’t pick up on from the photos. Yes you can hear voices through the walls/doors but it didn’t bother me and they kept decent quiet hours. Given how nice everything was, I was surprised how accommodating and easy going Murat and his roomie are. I also got to make friends with their cat! (I really love that cat.)
10/10 will stay again. ❤️
