Hosts are very friendly & welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them. The area itself is great & it has good access to explore Manhattan (bus stop right outside the house & subway station 10min walk). The kitchen can get a little small & there is a bit of noise from upstairs, but if you out most of the day - it’s not a big deal. The yard space is bonus & I wished the weather was more pleasant for us to enjoy it more.
