2/10 Terrible

We are from SC and know nothing about the neighborhoods of NYC. I want to make sure others like us have more of an accurate idea of this part of town than we did. This listing and its glowing reviews gave me a very different impression of what we would find when we pulled up to this unit. It is not in a nice part of town. There were sketchy looking people milling all about, there were bars on all the lower story windows, and there was absolutely nowhere to park for blocks in any direction on the overly crowded streets. We were traveling with our four children and did not feel safe enough to get out of our car to go into the unit, so we never even saw the inside. We kept driving and stayed in a hotel instead. When I told the host about our concerns and that the unit didn’t seem to match the description online, she told me I was “literally describing the neighborhood of Bushwick.” Again, I admittedly lack knowledge of the neighborhoods in NYC, which is why I was having to trust reviews. Maybe this can help someone else in our position. This unit might be great for someone wanting to be in this area, but it was the one disappointment on our amazing American History road trip up the east coast. One other little thing—it was a bit odd that the address listed on VRBO was not the same as the actual address of the unit that the host gave me.
