Helpful host and care taker. Care taker lives on the the first floor of the house, so it is helpful but not disturbing at all. The entire ground floor is for airbnb. Kitchen is available for cooking. We could also do an early checkin which was great. Subway station is a mile away which connects to Manhattan easily. Be aware of the fact that room is small and there is very little space for luggage. Overall a good deal for a budget traveller.
