Banty was such a sweetheart! Her place is about a 10 minute, easy walk from the L train, and we were in Manhattan in about 15 minutes. A timing mix-up upon our arrival left us waiting around for about an hour before we could check in (not a big deal, there's a nice park nearby), but Banty worked very hard to make things right and even offered us a free extra night to make up for it. She was very communicative and left us lots of snacks and water. She's a great host and her room is perfect for one or two people looking to do a lot of exploring around the city during their stay. We really enjoyed meeting her and would absolutely recommend her place to other travelers on a budget!
