This room is beautiful, and in a locked building. However, having never been to NY, we did not know what the area was like; it is definitely the Bronx, and we were very nervous about parking a distance away (since there was no close by street parking) and walking back to the apartment. It is great if you are braver than us; we are hobbits. Our room was fine, but the living area of the house smelled strongly of marijuana, which was somewhat concealed by an oil diffuser, but not much. Overall Aramis was a good host, but I think the area should be better described so guests know what they are getting into ahead of time.
