Nia is a great host and her place is an ideal spot if you are traveling to NYC. The apartment is a couple hundred feet from the main subway line which takes you right to Grand Central in only about 10 minutes. The room was very clean and Nia provided clean towels etc. which is very nice. During the day and until late at night the train is very loud but as most people will be sight seeing during the day, the train comes less frequent at night and we found sleeping not to be a problem. If we go or anyone goes to NYC I definitely recommend Nia's place as it is super easy and close to Manhatten but with less traffic etc. to get there then staying somewhere else. We had to leave a day early due to our work schedule and Nia was very accommodating and was super nice for letting us cut our expected day short even though it was a bit later notice. Thanks again Nia for being a wonderful host!!
