Generally a very pleasant experience and a particularly nice, hospitable and very flexible host who even let us keep our luggage in the room for one more day! However, I wish some more details were included in the description of the room that would have given a bit of a clearer picture of the accommodation.
The basement room might not be best suited for two people, since the appliances inside the room like boiler, washer, dryer etc. partially reduce the available space considerably. Also, the entrance and stairs are very narrow which gives taller people a harder time passing through. Also, the location and the public transit are a bit cumbersome if you expect a quick transit to Manhattan, I highly recommend to make yourself familiar with the LIRR and bus schedules beforehand to avoid unduly waiting times. But apart from that, I generally recommend this accommodation and especially the lovely host!
