Crispy's place is without a doubt value for money; you have a private room with sufficient space for a short stay in the suburban area of NYC. The house was clean and neat. There is good transport towards Manhattan and all touristic areas via bus and then metro or train.
One must be aware that the house (as the host also mentions) may have other guests; so you can expect to have people being active in the morning in the kitchen and this can be heard from the bedrooms. So, as a potential guest, you should also be considerate and keep your noise levels to a minimum.
Crispy has been very responsive, helpful, accommodating, and friendly.
Highly recommended for budget travellers.
