Excellent location- minutes away from the subway, cafe, and restaurants. The public transit was convenient to use and I was able to hit the famous spots you need to go in Manhattan/Brooklyn area. The host was responsive and available whenever I needed something or had questions. You will share the common area with the host, but I was able to use it to myself the entire trip since the host wasn’t around. AC was also a huge plus given the humid weather in NY at this time. One thing I would add though is there wasn’t a blow dryer or enough towel available for guests to use. I would recommend bringing a spare towel and a blow dryer when reserving. Overall, great value for the price you pay.
