Mante is friendly and flexible, really great to deal with as our host. She made us feel at home and though we were in her living space we had a lot of privacy. It was great to have an a/c in the wall of our bedroom to be able to have a fan running to block out any city sounds at night. The location worked well for us, wanting to be near Mount Sinai Hospital, a pleasant half hour walk or easy train ride. 2 short blocks to the subway.
