overall pretty great stay. centrally located (like a 2 minute walk) next to a major subway hub so traveling on public transportation was a breeze. safe neighborhood. lots of local food options. if you're going to nyc to see the city and experience nyc living, this is the spot. only minor con is that hot water in the shower only lasts 5 minutes, but I forgot to mention this so no part on the host. Meraj is super responsive and flexible and I would recommend this place to anyone with wanderlust for the big city.
