This place is in a great location. It's about a 10-15 min walk to Utica Ave station and maybe about a 15-20 min walk to Myrtle Ave station depending on how fast you walk. That might seem lengthy to some people but if you walk a lot like me, it's pretty easy. Being a part-time student and having gone to New York on this trip to volunteer at an event, the apartment had all the essentials I needed: a bed, a desk, a dresser, lots of hangers. The bathroom was airy and sunny and had a lot of towels at my disposal so that I didn't have to bother anyone with asking for more. Check-in was so easy and I liked not having to worry about carrying a key. That being said, the apartment is getting some work done but Gloria was great about letting me know ahead of time. Lastly Amira, the co-host, checked in with me early on to see how everything was going. I felt safe and at home during my stay and loved that I was close to restaurants as well as two metro stations that could take me to Manhattan for volunteering. Thank you Gloria and Amira!
