Take almost nine minutes to reach the metro and aprox. 50' (total) to the center of Manhattan (I take the times). The room is big but the bed and the sheets aren't good. Four days in a row I find a cockroach in the kitchen. In winter. Be aware. If you need something you have to ask. I was 20 days and never saw or spoke with any host except for the arrival and departure when we wrote for the application. At my arrive, he was kind and let me enter a few hours earlier. I think the service is not good for the price.
