Amanda's place looks just like the photos, with eclectic charm. checkin is easy, and communication Is easy, but with mild delay.
the place itself could be updated, and needs some remodeling, and decor and second hand furniture may not be to everyone's liking.
but the location is what it's all about, easy access to subway and Manhattan, easy walking to local restaurants and shops. great cafe around corner and quick cheap pizza at corner Bodega near subway.
please read all parking signs as we got a ticket in first 15 minutes , the sign we parked under was ok, so we parked, but there was another random sign further up street that trumped that sign for a certain time of day, 4to7pm right whe arrived. the host could have been more clear, since most people are checking in right around 3 to 4 . the area seamed safe , walking was easy, and the building was quiet.
