For those who are going to NY: Go and stay in Brooklyn, a lot more quiet and friendly than Manhattan, and in Brooklyn, go and stay at Amy's: Prospect is an area to be, and we had a (very!) large room, around 350ft2, in a lovely old house, with a very welcoming, relaxed and helpful host . Anything you need around the corner, a coffee, a drink, a bite, also a supermarket and a liquor store, the subway at 8 minutes. Sharing the bathroom was no problem, unfortunately the internet sometimes had its moods. Great stay, good choice
