You can’t dream of a more perfect location. The place is quiet enough. The only downsize were: the central heating (so hot we had to sleep with windows open in the middle of winter, even though to be honest it was oddly nice) and the spotty wifi (on my phone it kept logging in and on but we dis manage to watch some Netflix while using the wifi so go figure). Yuval was nice but we didn’t speak enough for me to talk much about him.
You’ll be just fine at his place especially if you’re there to explore New York. I lived in the city for 2 years and I’d highly recommend it for first timers.
