The area is great and not far from the main tourist spots Manhattan has to offer. A couple caveats, however, privacy is minimal, the place is gender inclusive (if you’re a female reading this, you might want to check in with the host beforehand to know what the gender of your roommate will be unless you don’t mind sharing with either), and the stairway leading up to the apartment is very narrow, so it may take multiple trips downstairs to carry all of your luggage to the room. Other than that, the place has a very hip feel to it and the area it is in is full of energy and excitement. Enjoy your stay.
