I was in this Airbnb for 8 nights and it was very convenient for me since I just needed a place to have my bags, sleep and shower on a limited budget. The place is near a subway station on line 6 so it allowed me to move around NYC easily. The neighborhood is safe, obviously if you don't mess with anyone like it is in this city. There are cafes, restaurants and supermarkets nearby with Amazon lockers. You can hear the train traffic, but it is something that I had read in the comments and personally for me that was what I wanted to experience as part of the city. Christopher is a serious, respectful person and keeps his limits. I had a great experience in the city.
