Cara was a great host who knows what is good in the neighborhood. The house is cosy and due to the fact there is a stairway inside (2-floor apartment) it gives a spacious impression. The subway (L-line) is only a few blocks away (5 to 10 min walk). We thought there would be more stairs but there were less than expected: only a few to the door (which is not at street level) and then some stairs inside going to the living room, and a few in between floors (as the living room/kitchen is on the first floor, and the room on the second one). There is a small private bathroom with all amenities you would need in a bathroom. Although located in Manhattan, the street is rather calm and doesn't have a lot of through traffic. I would recommend the place.
