The host is very helpful, provided useful information on public transport, which is easy to get to and from Manhattan, and the host has a very fast response time. The room, however, is very small and basic, with little more than a bed and a TV, but there is shared facilities like a kitchen upstairs. The room can get warm and stuffy with it having little circulation been in the basement, there was a fan but can still get a little stuffy. Overall the airbnb is not too bad, but probably not worth the 150 bucks we paid for 2 nights.
