It was a great time in NY. Gordon's home is very convenient to visit NY without spending too much money in accomodation.
It's very near a subway station (between 5 to 10 minutos walking) and the subway takes 10 minutes to get to Manhattan.
There isn't any noise at night, the beds are ok, you can sleep well.
Gordon is a good host, he allows you to use his kitchen or the living room to watch tv, read and so on. Besides, he's an easy-going and interesting person.
