John and Shanice were very responsive during our stay. Check in was super easy. The space was as shown in the photos and then apartment looks newly renovated. Great for a small family or two couples to share for their stay in the city. The walk to the subway is about 12 minutes. Area is totally safe. Although there is street parking, be prepared to hunt around a little bit for a spot. We stayed during Christmas week and John was incredibly responsive even with the busyness of the holiday. The downstairs portion is a little cool compared to the main level, but cozying up to watch television with a blanket is great. If you want to explore NYC, this is a great solution for an Airbnb! Thank you John and Shanice!
