Drica's place is a great base of operations for exploring New York. There are two metro stations in easy walking distance, lots of restaurants, and you can get to all the touristy places in Manhattan and Brooklyn in around 30 to 45 minutes. The apartment is nice and cozy (we liked the bed and the shower), if a bit dark. Despite it being situated on a busy street, noise is not much of a problem, since the bedroom faces the rear/side and the A/C takes care of the rest.
All in all we can definitely recommend Drica's AirBnB for those interested in a NY city trip.
