Daryl’s apartment was as described. It was cozy, clean and very well put together. As a host, Daryl was impeccable; very quick to respond to queries, he made himself available if I had any issues and he was accommodating for us to check out late.
The apartment is a few minutes walk to the bus stop which you can use to connect you to the subway (which in itself is about a 15-20 min walk). However, I would say if it’s your first time in New York City or you want to be located in an area where there is lots to do- The Bronx is quite far out (or at least that part of The Bronx); in my opinion. I did A LOT of travelling daily to access the things I typically enjoy in NYC, which are typically located in Brooklyn or Manhattan, so the location was a bit challenging for me. However this has nothing to do with Daryl or his apartment; it’s just a note that generally The Bronx feels quite removed from the buzz and hub of NYC. This could just be my experience and if you’re not fussed with having to do long trips on the subway (Ubers are ridiculously expensive!), then the location needn’t be an issue for you.
I would absolutely recommend Daryl’s apartment, with a note that some people might find it challenging navigating travelling out of The Bronx to other parts of NYC which have the main attractions etc
