We had a fine stay at Emily's place. It was very very clean with a very nice bathroom. Emily has a beautiful home (and the loveliest cat).
The place is very close to the subway (2 minutes walk) which was convenient and you get to Manhattan in only 10 minutes.
Though we only met Emily once, she seemed kind.
However, light sleepers should be aware that the neighbourhood is really noisy at night especially on weekends.
