Apartment is located a short 5 minute walk from the the nearest train station. As far as the neighborhood for those whom haven't been to NYC its as safe as can be. Never once felt uncomfortable walking late at night back to the room . Host was very attentive to neatness and cleanliness which is a major plus so don't worry about any critters. Host also would also check on you if you needed anything or to simply ask how the stay was so far. Very nice gesture. Room has wifi, a/c and you have access to the kitchen if needed. Bathroom supplies are also provided for use. I would stay there again for sure on my next visit. Stadium is also very near yankee stadium for those planning to attend games which was my main reason visiting nyc.
