The studio apartment was perfect for me. Everything looks exactly the same in the picture. Manhattan is around an hour from the house if u take the bus and the free ferry. Bus stand was just a short 5 - 7 min walk. The apartment had everything a traveler requires for a long term stay. Kitchen was well stocked with all required utensils. The time I was traveling there was frequent rains which brought in some house centipides, but even Raid spray was there in the apartment which I used.
The location - it in a neighbor hood with lot of other houses. There is a walgreens around 7 min from the house. A huge super market and laudromat is around 15 min by walking or two bus stops away. Sometimes I did return from my work late but I did feel safe in the neighbourhood.
Host - Marina and Eli were great. Marina was always quick to respond thru mail and text. Though I didn't get time to interact with them. They respected my privacy. Thanks for hosting me.
