Simply wonderful hosts. The location is perfect for getting around Manhattan quickly and efficiently. It's just a quick 5 minute walk from the A, C, and 1 , 3 lines so you can get to Times Square in about 20 -40 minutes depending on time of day. It took me less than 45 minutes to get to and from LaGuardia by subway and bus link and 1 hour 15 minutes to get to JFK by subway. If you love Dominican or Puerto Rican food there are plenty yummy bodegas and restaurants in easy walking distance. Lots of other food options nearby as well. If you can't eat it all or want your own food, the hosts allow you to share space in the kitchen so you can store your leftovers or food. There is also cuddly feline attention included with the flat. This helped me tremendously to not feel so homesick for my own fluffball. The room is comfortable and has a lovely view of the Hudson with lots of natural light flowing in. It is surprisingly quiet for a city flat. The neighborhood is right next to Columbia NY Presbyterian Hospital complex. But no continuous ambulance or police sirens to keep you awake. I'd love to keep this as my little secret, but definitely want to share the wonderful hospitality of this great host.
