Stayed at Yahaira's place in the Bronx for 3 nights/4 days. The space and location were as described: nice, spacious basement apartment in a neighborhood that feels safe and full of families. There are obvious recent updates and renovations to the unit. New tile in the bathroom, rain shower head, and a Roku TV. All communications from Yahaira (pre-, during, and post-) were prompt and clear.
The apartment is about a 45-minute walk from the Fordham campus, and a good portion of that walk is on a very pleasant city greenway.
There are some nearby restaurants and a bodega, as well as what must be the only craft brewery in the Bronx; definitely check out Gun Hill Brewing Co. if you stay at her place. They have a good selection of beer available. But you might do better, in terms of finding good food, if you explore other areas of the Bronx, maybe Little Italy, etc.
I hope to stay at Yahaira's place again someday.
