Emily and Lou are wonderful people. They are the best hosts anyone could ask for. Emily was very nice as to meet me at the bus stop near midnight, and Lou makes fantastic breakfast (gotta try his smoothies, y'all) and gives good suggestions of activities/places to visit. They even got me into MoMA for free!

Their place has easy access to public transportation (5 to 10 minutes walk to a bus stop or subway), and it's a safe area with plenty of nightlife happening (by nightlife, I mean food: there's a lot of Middle Eastern cuisine that opens til late night). Despite that, the apartment is quiet and peaceful. It's definitely a great place to rest after a busy day in NY surrounded by strangers.
