I chose this Airbnb based on the excellent reviews and it did not disappoint. It was our first time to NYC and the while the location was quite far from downtown, the subway is only about a 15 minute walk. We felt very safe, being two females. There are 3 locked doors you have to get through to get to the room. While small, it was perfect for my daughter and I and had all the essentials. The back porch is cute and allowed for some fresh air, however, the bugs/mosquitoes this time of year kept us from sitting out there very long. The room is situated further back from the street, so it was a little more quiet. I highly recommend you don't arrive with a (rental) car, like we did. Street parking is non-existent and the closet 24-hour parking lot was 4-5 blocks away. Our flight was delayed quite a bit so that put us looking for a place to keep the car for a few days at 11pm, which was not fun! The communication was excellent! Any questions we had were answered immediately! Highly recommend!
