We stayed at Lauras place the night before our flight back to Germany. The room itself has everything you need and is the perfect location if you want to be close to the airport. We were allowed to leave our luggage in the closet on our departure day which was very helpful. The house itself is located in a very nice and very busy part of New York with lots of little markets and places where you can find affortable food from all over the world. If you are planning to spend your time mostly in Manhatten I would keep in mind that it takes about 50 minutes to get into Manhatten downtown by bus/subway.
We had a very good time at Lauras place!
