We spend 8 nights at Tokunbo's place and really liked it. Her appartment is on 3rd floor and looks exactly as can be seen on the photos. There is airconditioning and ventilation which was very convenient, recalling the high July-temperatures in New York. The kitchen is sufficiently equipped if you do not plan to cook any special meals. The loft is clean and nicely decorated.
Tokunbo's loft is located in an area away from tourist paths. On our way from the metro station - Nordstrand Ave - to her place we (two young girls) felt safe at any time. The A and C line stop at Nordstrand Ave, which are two main lines leading through Manhatten - which is just perfect if you want to see a lot of Manhatten. In the neighbourhood are many grocery stores, restaurants and even a laundry.
We only met Tokunbo very shortly but she always answered messages quickly. All her tips (restaurants, bars, which station to use) were really helpful and she was a very concerned host!
We definately recommend staying at her place!
