Anita’s place is very clean and very accurate to the pictures. I enjoyed staying here, and felt very safe. There is a lock on your door, a lock to get into the upstairs where your room is, and a lock to get inside the apartment. I travelled alone (with the exception of my friend being with me a few days) and felt very safe the whole time! Anita was a wonderful communicator as well. I had an issue with the person staying next to me being too loud, and once I told her about it she was quick to solve the issue and I had no problems with it the rest of my stay.
I spent all of my time in midtown/Manhattan. If you don’t mind an hour commute into the city, Anita’s place would be great for you. I personally was not a fan of the long commute, and since I was traveling to and from her apartment by myself most days I took an Uber home at night because I didn’t feel safe making the fifteen minute walk from the subway to the air BnB in the dark. I probably could have saved a good amount of money and time staying somewhere that was closer to midtown. Overall, Anita is a wonderful host and her place is very clean and comfortable! Definitely would recommend.
