Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Clean and very roomy. Never felt unsafe in the area. Dont think of Bushwick (Brooklyn) from an early 2000s standpoint. Today it is lively, all walks of life, younger crowd, and no one is going to attack you. The coffee shop at the end of the street(3 minute walk) is a great spot to start your day off. Then another 7 minute walk to the subway. Very easy to get into Manhattan. Came back to the airBNB many times after dark we weren't worried about safety. Just as you should anywhere, be aware of your surroundings. There are scarier people and places closer to times square. Maio was super friendly and accommodating. The ONLY thing we found wrong was the location of the TV. BE CAREFUL! Don't run into it. Other than that, this place is, in my opinion, the perfect location. And Brooklyn,Williamsburg,bushwick are actually a little more fun to us anyway. (Although we have already done all the touristy stuff on a previous trip) we will be back here for sure! ALSO! NYC is not strict on the vaccine mandates and no one wears a mask. So thats a plus!
