I would describe this place as the best place to stay ! Especially if you take a yoga training/class at Yoga tree.
The wholefood is close by, couple of restaurants at a 10 mn walk on 18th (when you can also buy stamps...). Buses are a block away to take you to the subway.
The hosts are absolutely lovely, as well as the other guests I had a chance to meet (from all around the world). The house is very comfortable, with kitchen, fridge, living room, laundry, WIFI. It is exceptionnally clean ! The area is very safely.
Regarding the construction next door, I was a bit worried about the noise. And so surprised to see that it was not very noisy : it started after 9:am, and not loud at all. It was always over when I got home (even at 5 pm). So guests should not worry about it.
