Loved my stay here! First and foremost, my cab driver who dropped me off was ranting about how worried he was for me to stay in this neighborhood, and it freaked me out. That said, as a single woman traveler who walked about half a mile to and from the subway station at all hours of the day, nobody ever bothered me and I never felt unsafe. Even better, having the 6 so close was a blessing; there was a direct route pretty much everywhere I went. The actual place was nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The one thing I will say is not to underestimate the three flights of stairs. I thought it wouldn’t be a struggle, but I was seriously dreading them every day after walking around ten miles every day.
Host wise, Jillian was great! I had to come a day after I booked because of a family emergency and she was very understanding. Also, I had to give her a call at one point, and she answered quickly. No concerns with her leaving you hanging!
Overall, I’d definitely stay here again. Jillian was a great host, and it was a great location.
