First Airbnb, first out of Europe trip and first time in the US, in the Bronx even so we were a bit exited and certainly curious, not knowing what really to expect.

When we mentioned Bronx here in Belgium people thought they would never see us again.
This perception was more than 100% wrong, we ended up in a very nice neighborhood in a just perfect apartment.
It certainly added a lot of real America or real NY city (that's more than Manhattan folks!) experience to our great trip.

The apartment is spacious, help on anything is nearby and given with pleasure, and you'll have at the same time a 100% private place with shops, food, subway all a few minutes on foot away.

If you would like to taste, as an European tourist, a bit of the real life I recommend this apartment for 100%, it has everything you need for a great price on a great location.

And yes, it's a bit far from Manhattan and you'll have to walk 5 minutes to the subway (or take the bus which is stopping in front of the apartment to the metro station) but hey, in Manhattan you'll probably walk a lot more and depending on where you should stay in Manhattan transfers with metro or yellow cab will take the same or even more time to get around so at the end this is no problem at all, if you take the 5 train during rush hours you're in the city center before you know it.

And even when returning late it's really safe. We never ever felt any minute unsafe, my 16 year old daughter, went shopping on her own without any hesitation and that certainly means something.

The apartment itself has everything you need, the vintage bathroom (looked from an European point of view) is adoring, the beds are great, the kitchen well equipped.

The broadband wifi worked great, included in the price and not slowing down or expensive as you'll still find in a lot of hotels.

But certainly also the privacy, the freedom and even the nice garden are great pro's for this place.

I'm recommending it already!

Isn't there anything negative then?
No, not really or yes maybe one little thing, it's very hard to leave.
