Henry's place is great. it was very clean and comfortable and having a kitchenette is a major bonus. The location is hard to beat if you are traveling around the City. I'm from NY so I picked this place especially because of its accessibility to the LIRR and Subways (A, 1, D major lines and local trains associated). Check-in was simple and fast. The system is run kind of like a hotel. At first it may seem confusing and a little bit odd, because there are a few 'Operators" that run similar AirBnB services. There is always foot traffic with guest visitors, and workers (cleaning staff) and it feels safe. The building is old so it's not perfect. You will get a sense of City living staying there. The normal "characters" are on the immediate streets but that's just NYC. They are just doing there thing and not harassing anyone. Even my Dad who lives in NY remarked that he would stay here and asked to get Henry's info. In my opinion it will be hard to find a better place for value, location, amenities and ease of checking in/out. Bonus.. upon checkout, we left our luggage behind with the reception while we toured the City for the day. I would recommended this AirBnb to anyone.
