Great host, nice little space! Neighborhood is 50/50, but the grocery store is just a few blocks away and the Caribbean food is incredible. About a 45 minute commute into lower Manhattan, with a 15 minute walk to the subway stop included, but very easy. Book if you love cats, video games, or jerk chicken! Longer stays might be a bit difficult because you are living with the host and therefore may not have much space if you intend to do a lot of cooking for yourself, but there's plenty of solutions and shorter stays shouldn't be a problem at all. Enjoy!
