The hosts kept in contact with myself before our trip, day of, and the night prior to our departure. The apartment is very cute, comfy sofa, gigantic tv with Netflix, great water pressure in the shower with excellent temperature. The neighborhood seemed at first rather sketchy but it wasn't. It is very quiet at nighttime and we, two females, didn't have any issues walking around the neighborhood to the local cafe or the subway station. There is a convenient store on either corner of the street and both of the owners are very nice. Getting to the subway station is a breeze, the C train local runs throughout the day very frequently and the A train local runs late night/early morning. From this station you can get to basically anywhere going uptown and also to Queens. Also, a bonus it does have its own private entry and private back patio.
