This room is better than getting a hotel and a lot cheaper, with the added benefit of a very friendly host that can give you information for people visiting NYC for the first time. It is in a very quiet neighbourhood but very easy access to subway and great little restaurants and cafes.
The room is very comfortable and well decorated it has a very nice ensuite bathroom complete with a claw foot tub. It also has it own small balcony leading out back into the courtyard and comes with internet and wifi.
Overall I had a very comfortable and pleasurable stay.
