Great place to stay in NYC! Nicole was really genuine, friendly and helpful. She gave me helpful suggestions on what to do, where to go and how to get discount Broadway tickets. Her dog is really friendly also. If you're not a dog person - don't fret or write this place off. Her dog is quite calm and doesn't shed. I'm not a dog person, and I liked this dog. The room is a good size, perfect for a solo traveller. A little hot but there's a fan & a/c unit. The location was good too - close enough to all the main attractions & Broadway and the subway, while not feeling like you're not in the middle of it all the time. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe walking around in this area. I would definitely recommend Nicole & her place.
