We enjoyed our stay here. It is in an interesting neighborhood. We didn't mind but I could see some people not feeling safe. There were other guests staying upstairs. We returned to the place one night and could not find a parking spot. They were standing in their driveway drinking beer. They moved their car so we could also park in the driveway but weren't happy about it. There was a window above the door broken that basically made it so the room wasn't private. And the lights in another room didn't work. Other than that this is a great bargain. The house is old but it is beautiful! I read some of the reviews that said it was "dirty." It is not dirty, it's just old which we didn't mind. And you can walk out on a back private enclosed deck and see lower Manhattan at night. Can't beat that! Communication was not great. After a few exchanges about the lights not working the owner just stopped responding. But check in was clearly communicated well and another questions was answered the next day. Not a lot of clear instructions about check out but we just did what seemed logical. I would recommend staying here if you are not a high maintenance person and can appreciate an old home. I feel like the price is worth any of the inconveniences. Except maybe the parking. I would have liked to been able to park in the driveway. But I didn't want to have to go knock on the other door to ask them to move their truck.
