My boyfriend and I traveled to NYC in November (wonderful season, not too cold nor too warm to walk around, beautiful colors in central Park). We found the flat of Jennifer very convenient.
The location is fantastic: 10 min walk to the subway station with direct line to Central Park and Times Square (around 15 min ride, how great is that). We enjoyed the fact that it's not on Manhattan, hence less busy at night. Especially if you come from another time zone, you will value the calm of a quiet neighborhood. It's close to several shops, supermarkets open 24/7 and restaurants. Our first evening, after an 8-hour flight, we enjoyed very good Peruvian food 10 minutes from the flat. The street is quiet and the flat is located at the back of the house, so even more quiet.
The flat: very well-equipped. The bed was great (and we are picky), the bathroom clean and shower hot (not the case everywhere). The kitchen is super equipped but we didn't use it as we were outside all the time.
The host: FANTASTIC! Jennifer is helpful, she sent us tips for places to eat in order to avoid big food chains or tourists' traps. She is definitely a great SUPERHOST.
Thanks a lot Jennifer!!!
