It's a little far from Manhattan, like an hour by the subway, but the district is unconventionally pretty :) The room was nice and looked clean, but I'm not sure whether the bedcovers were really clean, as well as the kitchen and so on. Emon is a very nice and understanding host and we barely knew he was at home, it felt kinda good :) but it's not for people who like to chat and get to know the host. Anyway, we enjoyed the stay at Emon's very much :)
