Home away from home
After reading reviews about the area I was a little worried being a single female staying here. I need not have worried at all. I didn’t feel unsafe and I would regularly use the subway late at night too (like getting back at 2-3am). I do want to point out that I would always use the C train (A train late at night) because the 2/3 train did feel a bit sketchy even during the day. Going from the apartment towards St Nicholas was fine, but going the opposite direction towards Lenox - that area seems a little seedier. I never felt unsafe walking around in the day but wouldn’t go that direction at night.
The apartment itself was roomy. I was there during winter and it was cold out but always warm inside. The little kitchen was great.
The bathroom is big enough but there were a few drainage issues near the end of the stay (used Drano to help fix it).
At one point, a fuse blew during my stay and I had no power in the big room, but it was sorted out quickly by the host which I appreciated.
There are plenty of place to eat and get supplies within a few blocks of the apartment too.
For the price I would definitely recommend staying here. I enjoyed my stay and would like to come back some time.
