A great value for the NYC area. The surrounding area is quiet, the apartment is clean, and it is about a 10-minute walk from the train (#7), which we used to go to Manhattan every day ($2.75 flat rate per person). The room is private and locks with the key. There is another guest room down the hall, also (possibly) rented out. The bathroom is shared across guests of the different rooms. The place is not "fancy", but it is well kept, and it is a good value for someone looking for a quiet, clean place to stay within reach of the city. Yves is responsive to communication.
