The host did an incredible job communicating and be responsive. She allowed us to check in earlier than expected and on short notice too. She also provided the pack & play and checked on our sick baby. Asked if we needed anything, and was an incredible host. Our Uber driver did advise us to be home before dark and to not go out. The location doesn’t seem to be in the best part of town, but nothing happened to us. We were perfectly safe and we did have a baby with us. My only complaint is the location is not very well baby proof. There were loose cords and cabinets out baby could get into. Although I guess that’s more on us than the location. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for an experience that offers more of how New Yorkers live, than just the tourist life. It was pretty close to the subway and bus. If you come here, use the subway! Highly recommend this host!!
