I had a good time staying here. The location was cool for me since it's like 30 min from manhattan by subway. Also, it's a great place to stay if you are in NY for some show in Knockdown center because It's literally 7 minute walk from the apartment. I didn't feel unsafe in the neighborhood, this is an industrial area with lots of graffiti all over the place (which was kind of cool though).
Some things I didn't like - there is no lock on the bathroom door (but I guess people just leave the door open when nobody is there so you know if it's closed then somebody is there probably)
The temperature in the apartment was pretty low. Not that bad, but I had to wear my hoodie all the time.
I saw some rats in front of the building, but... you know. You're in NY so don't act surprised
Overall you get what you pay for. I'd recommend it to people who need a place to sleep and take a shower. The location is convenient, the host was willing to help. Thanks!
