Charle's place is what exactly look like the pictures. Charles is a funny and humble person, such a shame we didn't have chance to get him know more because our busy schedule.
Location is not the best. This is 45m to Manhattan but it worth for the price you pay compering to the crazy prices of staying in Manhattan! In terms of safety, I wouldn't say is dangerous but we didn't feel very safe walking around during night time.
Apart of that we had a nice experience and we might repeat again if we came back to NY.
