Sky was incredibly accommodating and quick to respond to our queries. It was big of him to answer the midnight phone call we gave him the night we arrived at the apartment to ask about the WiFi password. His apartment is ways down in Brooklyn, approximately an hour from downtown Manhattan, depending on the subway line you take.
The best part about it is that the bus stop is right in front of the apartment’s gate. You need not walk a mile to get to a bus stop. If and when you do decide to walk instead to the nearest subway, it’s about a 10 minute walk depending on your pace. There’s one at 32 St or at 9th Ave.
The neighborhood in general is quite peaceful and relaxed. There are a few choices for food that are only a few steps away in case you need to grab a quick bite. There aren’t any stray dogs/cats, which is of course a plus for those who have some form of fear of dogs or cats. The streets turn quiet right around midnight so you are assured of a peaceful sleep without having to contend with cars passing by and honking. The only thing that might bother you though is your roomie’s snore (lol).
We had the apartment all to ourselves and for its location and size, the price is exceedingly generous. We highly recommend the place and the host. For the few days we were in NYC, the apartment felt like home. There are 2 rooms furnished with appropriately sized beds with comfortable beddings. There’s a medium sized futon in the living room/dining room. Sky left us more than enough tissue/toilet paper.
If any of these perks sound like your style, then Sky’s apartment is definitely for you.
