Matthew was absolutely perfect as a host. I forgot my key one day, and I realized very late that night, but Matthew was very kind to wait up for me. The neighborhood is quiet and very near the subway, and Times Square, so it's well connected to ride around the city. The room was bigger than I had expected, and the bed was very comfortable. There is a nice coffee shop about 1 block away, perfect to make it my office every morning. And a nice supermarket too that has absolutely everything you can possibly need. I'm definitely staying here again next time I'm in New York.
