He was a great host. They were able to let us in early and we really appreciate that. The place is as described and an adequate ride to manhattan and a short walk to the 7 local train. Budget around 1 hour to get to anywhere in middle manhattan.
The bed was comfortable but I’d choose a place with a larger bed next time. (We are 2 people one 200# other #160) the AC/heater was great, the tv looks fine. The bathroom water pressure was strong and there was always hot water. The only slight con is that you can smell their cooking. Keep that in mind if you’re very sensitive to smells.
The neighborhood is very ethnic and gives you a taste of the real New York. You’re surrounded by many ethnicities and people are friendly or minding their business. So the neighborhood is good and close to the train and food shops.
