Our hosts were very kind & welcoming - being first-time visitors to NYC, they went out of their way to show us around & give tips on what we could do & see in the city. The bed was comfortable & our room was cozy & clean. The room was not only close to main public transport spots, but the area was also great to walk around in & explore! All in all, a great experience - will definitely go back the next time we're in New York :)
