Vashti was very accommodating, with maps, public transport schedules as well as notable places to visit in the city. The house is walking distance from two subway lines so it is highly accessible to the city, a give to ten minute walk. The house was very neat and quiet. Great WiFi service available too. The room is snug but private, excellent for one who has come to visit the New York. It provides a good place to rest up, clean up and have your luggage safe while you go around town. Returning to the house late past midnight was a breeze. If you are on a tight budget and need to visit the city for a few days, staying at Vashti's and having a $30 7-day unlimited MTA cards will get you bang for the buck .
