I rented the room for me and my girlfriend and we had a good time in New York. The room is one of three in the house which are all on AirBnB so you will probably meet some other guests. We did not meet Sylwia but check in was well organized and easy. With a cab it takes around 5 minutes to Grove St. where the PATH train brings you to Lower Manhattan within 15 minutes. The other option is to walk to the Light Rail station (10 mins) and then change to path at Exchange Place. The area around the house is quite shady and as soon as it got dark we took a cab to go avoid walking to the station/back to the house. The cleanness of the room is good but the rest depends on the other guests ;-)
