Daren's place is in a great location. Super quick and easy commute into Manhattan. Daren is an amazing host and let me come in way early to crash in a spare room (since my flight got in at 5:30am). So thankful for that!! There were a couple smell issues -- the doorway into the apartment smelled like pee and there was a musk in the room itself that made it slightly difficult to sleep -- but I think I'm extra extra sensitive to smell. Overall, the hotels in the city were INSANELY expensive, so I'm so glad I could find a super safe place to stay for a reasonable rate!!
