I stayed a comfortable ~10 nights at Manuel's place. The room was just as in the pictures, the bed comfortable, the small desk practical, everything clean. The kitchen exceeded my expectations, with modern appliances and everything I needed to cook (pots, pans, knives, boards, even cooking oil and tupperware). Manuel was very responsive, friendly and went the extra mile every time (extra blankets, a new can opener, etc.) in addition to being nice to have a conversation with. There are 4-5 rented rooms on two floors with a shared kitchen and at least two bedrooms. I never felt that the common rooms were too small and actually had conversations with several of the other guests. Getting to Manhattan is easy and takes 30-45 mins depending on the destination. I was in town to find an apartment and this AirBnB ended up being a perfect base for this.
