Richard's place is literally 1 1/2 blocks from the subway stop (Q Line, if I remember correctly). Great location for seeing the city, an overnight for a meeting in NYC without staying in a flophouse, etc.
I wish Airbnb provided a way to depict the "Class" of the property, like you would with an office building (Class A, Class B, Class C). To me, this is a low level Class B or possibly a Class C property, but perfectly clean, easy to get to, good urban neighborhood, and would recommend it to anyone who's comfortable with "urban" travel.
