This place was wonderful. Literally right off the 2,4,5 trains (which made it so easy to hop downtown). Eric is so helpful and so communicative. His place was clean, and I felt safe with my daughter (in both his home and the neighborhood). It was a quiet street and the neighbors that I interacted with were friendly and sweet. Also really close to Target (where we bought groceries for the week). Eric recommended some great places to eat close by, and he was responsive to every question I asked. In the loft, you do have to use his front-door, and at times I felt bad walking up and down the stairs right next to where he was. However, he never made me feel awkward, and he remained out of sight. I am so grateful for such an affordable, clean, and comfortable spot to know about. If I come back to NY, I'm definitely going to see if his place is available.
