THE AREA: Awesome location. Walking distance to delicious restaurants, some of which the host recommended to us, some of which we stumbled to on our own. Cool shopping nearby. As mentioned, quick walk to subway. You can easily get around the city from her place. I walked her neighborhood very late at night. Perfectly safe.

THE ROOM: Exactly as described. If you're staying here, you're likely just looking for a place to crash while you explore NYC. This place has everything you need. A bed big enough for two. Host provided towels and soap.

THE HOST: Chavisa was awesome. She gave an excellent list of things to do. (I recommend reviewing it before you arrive so you can get an idea of what to do in advance). She mentioned that there was a bar that was doing some local stand up comedy that she would be attending. We decided to go to the bar and ended up hanging out with her all night. She was a lot of fun and awesome. She was always helpful but also provided privacy and space.

Would definitely stay with Chavisa again.
