The hosts are really really nice but really busy people so don't expect the house to be always spotless, or not to have dishes on the sink. We didn't like the location a lot at night, since we saw a lot of drug addicts on the Street and at the exit of the subway at night. The subway was really close though and it had great connections to the center of the city. 15 min walk from the North of Central Park. There was a supermarket nearby open till very late and an amazing bakery nearby. It is on top of a jazz bar but the noise was very soft, it didn't bother us. The house was warm and the room good enough for two people.
