The location is good if you want away from Manhattan and a quieter neighborhood. The apartment smelled heavily of curry which I loved. Everything was clean and thoroughly explained. The room however is different than the one in the picture. The mattress is hard as a rock. Being recently recovered from a back injury the mattress had me in a world of hurt the rest of the day. There's no AC and the last guest broke the fan (which the host will rectify as soon as she can I'm sure) but there was none when I visited. It was as hot in that room as it was outside. Getting to sleep in 100 degree heat and humidity was a chore. Besides no relief from the devastating heat she and her apartment are wonderful.
