I spent a wonderful time at Rawn's place, it's so nearby from a metro station (a beautiful and safe one by the way) so you can move easily around all the town.
The neighbourhood looks safe and nice. Check Inn and check out are easy to do. Rawn is always courteous and attentive, all the hosts (including cats) are too.
The room is comfortable and it feels like home all the time, the common areas are fantastic too.
When I return to NY I wouldn't doubt to stay here again.
