Karen had a very quick reaction time when we needed a place to stay last-minute. The room, while small for two people, is inexpensive for the New York area. We were up and about every day we were there though, so it was not a problem. If you are not planning on staying indoors for too long, we would definitely recommend this place!

When we first exited the subway, we found the neighborhood to be somewhat intimidating, though it was later at night. Nothing happened to us, even though we came home late every night. Could be that we just needed to get used to it a little at first.

Karen and Josh were great hosts, talking to us at length on the
subject of New York and other destinations. Very friendly people.
