I could say many good things about Swann's place, but to keep it short I will just say I would like my own home be like Swann's. If you are still considering if it's worth a few extra stops on a subway, just go for it, as I'm sure you will not be able to find anything like this for a comparable price in Manhattan. On top of than, Swann is a very nice host ready to answer any of your requests. Would definitely stay again.
