Xenia is a wonderful host - she is super responsive and the place was true to the pictures on the listing. The neighborhood is nice, quiet, and safe. It's a short walk from the subway station, so that was convenient.
Personally, the AirBnB's proximity to Midtown, Upper West/East side of Manhattan was not ideal. The commute via the Subway was ~1hr (sometimes more), and Lyft/Uber was $40-$50. I was here for the labor day weekend and was primarily in Manhattan every day. I wanted to maximize the time I had, and didn't enjoy spending a lot of time commuting.
This AirBnB is great for you if you are visiting Brooklyn, lower Manhattan, etc. and/or if you are alright with ~1hr commute. Nonetheless, Xenia's AirBnB was one of the most affordable options without compromising the quality of stay. I highly recommend this listing.
