Carla is an excellent host! She was quick to respond to messages and super friendly! The room was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I. We loved the courtyard view and the baby kitties living behind the back bushes. The house is about 1/2 mile walk to the subway for easy access to all the tourist destinations. However, I was somewhat uncomfortable walking around the neighborhood, especially at night, but had no major issues. Would book this place again for a trip to nyc!
