I had a great time at Thaya's place. Was visiting NYC for a conference. It's located in East Village, right in the centre of Manhattan, in between uptown and downtown. Everything is walkable (or by subway) from there. Whole Foods is also around the corner.
The place is fully equipped: kitchen, bathroom, desk, rocking chair, television, internet, super comfy single bed, extra blankets, two windows, closet, good heater, ... Features I enjoyed a lot: the location; the bath tub, which I enjoyed a couple of times with some relaxing music in the background; the bed; the really good price/quality ratio; and the silence at night.
Thaya is very friendly and welcoming. She occasionally lives there as well, but at the time of my staying, she was out of town, so I had the place for my own. Not a bad thing to think of about this place/host. Thank you again Thaya, this was a very good experience!
