Igor and Gita were great and friendly hosts. The neighbourhood is safe and well-connected, right next to a major metro station (Q, B & S) so it was really easy to go to both central Manhattan and various places in Brooklyn. There are plenty of supermarkets and a large park within walking distance. Igor showed me around and gave me some good tips in terms of places to visit. I had a large private bedroom in a very nicely decorated and cosy house, plus everything I needed (bonus points for the good Wi-Fi). Check-in and check-out were extremely easy and communication was always quick. Overall, this made my first time visit to the US really comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place in NYC!
