We stayed in Seth's home for one week and we met both him and his husband. They are very pleasant people and did their best to make us feel welcome, help us around, and recommended neighborhood restaurants. The property is on the second floor in a residential neighborhood. We never felt unsafe there and never had any problems returning home late night. There is a bus from LGA going there directly and using the metro you can be in Time Square in 20 minutes. A small supermarket is nearby.

During our stay we had access to the kitchen and the living room. So I would say this is an inexpensive and nice way to experience New York.
