I stayed here for about two months and overall my stay was exceptional. The place is roomy as it is the entire basement. There are a lot of nice touches and the kitchen was perfect for home cooking. The surrounding neighborhoods may look a bit sketchy but I never encountered nor saw any problems. The grocery and subway are a couple blocks away and Utica Ave had plenty of shops and eateries. The host was very quick to respond and made me feel at home. Would stay here again.
