Great place and hosts. I only met Lily during my stay but she was very nice. She explained all the rules and amenities. The place was clean. While the neighborhood may look odd with all the art on the walls, I felt very safe walking around. It was a short walk to get to the subway which was then about a 15-20 minute ride to Manhattan. Be advised that the building does not have an elevator but that is a common thing in the area.
