Takes about 40~50 minutes to move to the center of Manhattan or Brooklyn, but the subway station is quite close so it is actually not a big deal. However there were only two bath towels for two of us - even though we were staying there for 4 nights - and no more were given until we asked for them via airbnb message. In fact, even after asking for more towels, all we could get were two more so we had to message again. The host didn't answer the message this time; eventually all we had were 4 bath towels for 2 of us for 4 nights. Should keep in mind that host does not check the inquiries quickly. Plus the room can be cold in winter. Other than this everything was perfect! The room was big and stylish, bed and couch were so comfy, and the kitchen was absolutely fully equipped. Recommended!
