Dan's place in Washington Heights is certainly a steal for the price point. Accessible to the A, C, and 1 lines, you will have all the access you need to travel to downtown Manhattan or Queens (which were my frequents during my stay).
The apartment itself is quite lovely, very updated, has plenty of basics such as towels and extra pillows, and the AC unit in the room was such a nice touch for someone who likes to freeze when they sleep like I do (no sarcasm whatsoever).
While the neighborhood wasn't necessarily my cup of tea to go explore in, I never felt unsafe during my 10 minute walks from the 168th street station late at night.
Dan seems to be a very caring host, and although I never got to meet him personally, he did message me halfway through my stay asking if my stay was going well, which I wholly appreciated.
Terrific experience overall.
