Host: Amazing host -- kind and accommodating. And very, very clean and tidy. Manuel lives in the apt with you in a separate bedroom and every few days he cleans the shared bathroom and kitchen. He also makes sure that there are toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash/toilet tissue) available. I accidentally locked myself out of my bedroom once and Manuel promptly opened the door for me. Manuel is also great with responding quickly on the airbnb chat.
Laundry: You will not be able to do laundry in the apartment (it is not listed as an amenity, anyways), but there are at least 2 coin operated laundromats within a 1 minute walking distance.
Transportation: All the major subway lines are accessible within a 10 minute walking distance.
Groceries: You may have to travel a little bit to go to a real grocery store but there are many convenience stores and restaurants within a 5 minute walking distance.
Location: The neighborhood was fairly safe, albeit a little dark during the night. However, I never felt unsafe walking to the apt even during late nights. The unit is located within Hells Kitchen so there were many great places to eat within a short walking distance.
