Peaceful & quiet neighbourhood. Orit's place has most of the necessary facilities you need. The spacious living room is great for those with big luggage. The beds & sofa are comfy. For tourists visiting NYC who rely on public transport (subway and bus), the metro station is 19 minutes walk downhill, which means, if you return to Orit's house via metro, you will have to walk uphill. So taking the metro to & from Orit's place is great for those who fancy a morning & evening hike. Otherwise, the bus stop that will take you to Manhattan is only about a minute walk away. The bus / subway ride to Manhattan is about an hour.
