The host is a very friendly person with two very cute cats and a well-located flat just a 5-minute walk from the Fredericksburg Alle metro stop on the (red) M3 line. She was always happy to give me lots of tips on what I should see and do. The area is a residential one away from the center but still walkable to trendy and interesting locations and super fast to the center/waterfront on the metro. The room is large (at least by Manhattan standards) and comfortable. Something to be aware of is that it can be quite noisy outside in the early AM, so if you are a light sleeper this can be a problem as you really do need to keep the window open to regulate the temperature and have fresh air. This part was mostly fine for me but can imagine not for everyone. Overall, great value for the price! I would recommend it to my friends.
