This is a great find! Patricio is a SUPER responsive host who is hospitality driven and it really shows during your stay. The apartment is exactly what you'd expect in NY based on the listing. Everything was clean and tidy, and I had everything I needed.
I was looking for somewhere that would be a roughly 30-45 minute commute to mid-town. Across all of the boroughs, the best value stays are usually about that far and if you don't mind the commute you can save a TON in exchange for a little time. Find some food/drinks near one of your stops along the way if you don't want to ride the whole thing at once! The subway station is roughly 2 blocks away and you have access to the 1 and A trainlines. I had no trouble late-night or weekends getting home. For a seasoned traveler the neighborhood isn't that bad at night and I felt fairly safe walking home. If you're new to big cities it might feel a little sketchy but just walk with purpose and confidence and you'll be fine! Most airbnb's will feel the same on the outside wherever you go in the city anywhere near this pricepoint.
There's a bodega close by if you need something from the store, but the food in a walkable distance is pretty basic. Luckily it's a short commute to any highly rated restaurant/coffee shop/bar! A great time to check out what upper Manhattan has to offer.
