This place was exactly as described and shown on photos. Place was definitely clean enough to stay in but not pristine (hence 4/5 rating on cleanliness). Jing stayed in touch throughout the visit and was responsive and pleasant during the stay; however, I had asked a question a few months in advance but it was left with no response (4/5 communication). One thing for guests to keep in mind is that if anyone is sleeping on the couch instead of the bedrooms, you may be disturbed by footsteps from residents above. Location is about 30-40 mins to the city by bus/subway; 20 mins by car depending on NYC traffic (always a variable). Neighbourhood is quiet and private. Bus stop is right outside the house, as per the listing. Overall a good stay and great value.
