I contacted the host to make sure a later check-in time was okay & she was sweet to accommodate. However, when I got there, there were no keys in the lock box so I had to wait outside. Once I was let inside, my actual room door was locked and couldn’t get inside that. I was definitely annoyed, but other than that, I had no problems. Location isn’t too bad, emphasis on the too (we had a scary situation our first night in which my boyfriend was chased) It was farther from a working subway station than I anticipated so going to & from Manhattan took over an hour. At night, we felt safest to just Uber which made me spend extra $$. The house itself was great! All things considered, i think I’ll pay more to find a convenient place tho :)
