This place is an affordable place to stay if you're visiting NYC. It is very close to the subway however, this part of the Bronx is a long commute to Manhattan and Brooklyn, so it just requires proper time allocation. The host communicated quickly to answer questions before and during my stay. The check in was simple, with easy to follow instructions but the check out procedures require communication improvements from the host. The kitchen was a nice kitchen but the kitchen supplies and utensils were not very clean. I had to buy paper cups, bowls and utensils and I was not able to use the stove because the pots were dirty. However, the rest of the place was pretty clean and it is a nice space for one or two people. The heat worked well, plus there was a little space heater too. All in all, this is a nice place to stay if you're visiting NYC. I would stay here again.
