It was my first time staying alone in the city and this place was a gem! It's about a 2 min walk to the nearest subway station; it took me about 10 min to get into Manhattan. The actual apartment is very clean and beautiful. Smith was a great host! He was very welcoming and communicative. One thing to note is that there is no A/C if you're staying in the city during the summer. However, Smith gave me a fan and I cracked the balcony door open for air and it was comfortable.
