The apartment was spacious and very nicely decorated. There were plenty amenities for cooking; the space was clean and neat and a nice touch was having a television in each bedroom (and the living room) which is not always provided in all Airbnb stays, and a washer/dryer in the home.
I did not interact with the host, except for when they checked on me, because I had no reason to. Everything was self-explanatory and I didn't need anything since all amenities were provided. Street parking is available nearby. I never walked more than a block to the house from where I parked. I spent most of life in NYC, so I am accustomed to all types of neighborhoods. The home is on a decent block near other homes, however, there is low-income housing nearby, and with that comes a certain "element". Having stated this, if you don't plan to walk the streets at night, you will be absolutely fine. Wonderful home, location is average.
