Reading the reviews I was confident in booking and I was confirmed in my confidence. Like other reviews stated there is shared air space (to comply with the New York airbnb rules) so you can hear them but it was not intrusive at all and you can book with confidence that you are getting a great place.
The neighbourhood was friendly, never once felt worried about safety. Myrtle AVE has a ton of different shops / Restaurants. Quick walk (20 min or less) to several different subway stations so getting around the city was easy (use the CityMapper app, amazingly helpful)
When I come back to New York I will definitely stay here again!!!
