This apartment home at NY is placed in a semi-good neighborhood. There is a public soccer field/track right next to the apartment complex where there was a birthday party and cookout almost every day of our stay. The rest of the blocks are safe but there are some homeless people and I even encountered someone who was on drugs. The walk to the main subway I used is about a 10-15 minute walk which can get a little annoying after a couple of days. The location is also a little far away from all of the main attractions like Times Square and the Statue of Liberty so I was on the subway for at least 20 minutes before I reached my destination. The subway ride to and from the JFK airport is also quite long; about 40 minutes to an hour. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and Jillian even allowed me to check out a couple of hours later so I wouldn’t have to carry my luggage around the city. The negatives are not Jillian’s fault at all and everything that was in her control was satisfactory. The apartment was really nice, clean, comfortable, and felt like home. I would highly recommend this AirBnB to anyone who is looking to stay in NY.
