We stayed for 4 nights in Kevins place to explore NewYork. The place looks exactly as in the pictures! It was clean and well equipped. The bedroom is in the basement, which means there is not a lot of daylight (apart from 2 narrow light shafts). In summer it means that it is also nice & cool in the bedroom!
Getting the key was easy, even though Kevin wasn’t there when we arrived, it was all taken care off. We never felt unsafe in the area. Although a bit further away from most tourist attractions it is still a great location to explore New York! Two blocks from the subway on 125th street that takes you right to Times Square!
