The place is nice and clean and the host is lovely and very friendly. It is quite a way outside of Manhatten though and don't expect the New York vibe in the area. There are buses to get to the Metro but I definitely felt like I compromised on the location and in hind-sight should've paid extra and stayed closer as my time was limited and I spent alot of it commuting. The room is small which I expected but what I didn't realise is that the bed was about 90% of the floor space which made it quite hard to move around and there wasn't enough room to have my bag on the floor which was awkward. There is another room available in the house which is larger and a little more expensive. The 'cosy' room is affordable and is a good option if you are staying long term on a tight budget and aren't necessarily there to experience New York.
