Edward's place is in a fabulous part of the city! The price was a steal for a place in Manhattan. The sheets were clean and the atmosphere quiet and chill. Edward is very easy to get in contact with, super friendly and a great host. He offers up everything - towels, NYC books, kitchen, fridge, tea, house keys - that you need to make your trip comfortable.
Although the room is clean, the guest bedroom's window is ground-level on a garbage-filled alley, so if the window/fan is left open, the smell in the room will reflect what is going on outside - one evening we could smell vomit (however, the next day no problems). To avoid this, keep the window closed if it's not hot.
