The location is simply perfect regarding getting to Manhattan. Subway station is just across the street. There go both express and local trains to Manhattan. The room is big and spacious, clean and nice. No noise from outside. I missed a place to sit and relaxe and work with my laptop though. A chair and a table would nice if you need to work while there. If not, the room is very good. I loved the bed! Very comfortable Tempur martass. And the cats were really adorable. Sometimes I felt I came a little bit to close to the hosts privacy though, but that could just be the way I experience things. They are both nice and good people.
