Mamiko is a lovely host and has a nice flat, very accommodating and much quicker to reply to my messages than I was at checking for replies. The location was great, it takes only 30min to Penn station and the station itself is only a few minutes on foot, it was great for my explorations of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The area was quiet at night, perfect for getting some good rest.
The room was exactly as pictured, the bathroom had good water pressure (always a hit/miss with East Coast homes I've found), and I was even given a shelf in the fridge. Best bit was that they allowed me to leave my suitcase and backpack on the day I left so I didn't have to drag those around the city the whole day-much appreciated!
I can recommend staying here to everyone wanting to visit NYC, it was outstanding value for money. Thanks again to both of you!
