Sean is just the perfect host and gives his home, so you feel at home. It's all very clean, the bed is quite ok and the neighbourhood is quiet and very safe. The location is really perfect - you are in manhattan within app. 10-12 min (taking the shared bikes right across the street for about 400m and then the PATH subway train one station). The house is big, so you meet the other guests (which are few) only once in a while. Sean offers coffee and juice and a small breakfast and there are several places around, even a 24h diner. The price -to-value is unbeatable for New York area.
