Linda is a wonderful host! We stayed in her place for a month and everything was perfect. The studio is not only beautiful, but also very clean and comfortable.
In the neighborhood you can find different kinds of delis and markets and some of them are open 24/7.
Also the appartment is very safe and quiet.
As for its location, you can take the subway at any time and get to the center of Manhattan in no more than 20 mins.
I highly recommend staying at Linda's appartment!
