Manuel's place is great, exactly as advertised. The location is superb - 10 mins walk to Broadway, 20 mins to Central Park, a few blocks to Houston River, and the neighbourhood itself is full of exciting things to explore. My room was very tidy and the private bathroom was a plus - there are 3 other rooms who share one bathroom between them, but I barely saw the other guests during my stay. The kitchen is tiny but tidy, and there is a shared space with a sofa and dining table as well. I only met Manuel once but they were very quick to respond to messages and flexible with my check-in and -out times. I would definitely stay here again!
