Hosts Julian and Karen were super friendly and helpful. Very easy to contact and did all they could to ensure we had a great time in new York. Accomidation was as advertised, and presented good value for money. Good location just two blocks from the j train, which is a twenty minute commute to manhatten. If you are a light sleeper pack ear plugs as there is a little noise from the apartment upstairs, and the pipes in the walls.
