Josh is a great host, quick to respond. You have access to a private room with TV, WiFi password, cab service, and AC. The restroom is shared by everyone but they discuss their work schedules and keep it clean!
Towels and basic toiletries are provided. You get what you pay for. If you are traveling and exploring Manhattan on a tight budget, you might need to live further away and this neighborhood may accommodate your needs. But this also means you may not have the luxury to go back to your room for a quick nap and return to the city without taking a good chunk of your day away.
I overestimated my energy level and despite Google maps this home was a lot further than I expected. Unfortunately I had to move to a hotel closer towards Manhattan soon after checking in. But I must emphasize that this was my own fault on lack of research and it has nothing to do with Josh and his family‘s hospitality and cleanliness.
