The house is pretty safe, we didn’t have any problems even with shared bathroom. It was also clean! The location is not anywhere close to the main attractions or Manhattan but close to subway station. Pretty easy to walk around.Map helped us a lot. Walking distance to restaurants and markets. Large latin and asian community in the region. Lots of streer vendors. The only problem was about a product I bought from Amazon in advance and asked to be delivered there. The host said yes but was never at home. My product got lost and I was told UPS can literally leave it in front of the door unattended. Somebody took it. Since he had said I could give his address, I think he was kinda careless about it. Lost big money! But in the end it didn’t affect our trip as a whole and we could enjoy the place. Ah by the way, the house offers good kitchen and its utensils with free access
