My wife and I were planning a vacation to see New York and found this Airbnb. Mark's place was very spacious, clean, and beautiful. The subway was a short walk away from the house. The walk felt as safe as such a walk anywhere would. That is to say, if you're going to walk it after dark, just be smart about it. We caught the express each morning and hit Manhattan within 30 minutes. The neighborhood was quiet and there are many hip and cozy eateries and bars within walking distance. Mark was very helpful and accommodating without being overbearing. This was our first time using Airbnb, and we both hope any subsequent uses live up to the standard set by Mark.
