We stayed at Daniel's place for our 3 night stay in Manhattan. The best thing about this place was it's location - a short 4-5 minute walk to the Union Square Subway Station, which is many different subway lines running through it. As for the place itself - it was as described and the pictures in the description were accurate. It was like staying in a dorm room, but it worked out quite well. The beds were relatively comfortable. The building seemed safe, secure, and quiet. The air conditioner kept the place at a comfortable temperature. For the price, it was fine. Wifi was spotty but worked most of the time (better on my laptop than on my iphone). Daniel was an accommodating host that responded promptly to any messages leading up to our stay. He even let us check in early, which helped us out immensely. Overall, based on the location and the price, I would recommend this place if your plan is to spend the majority of your time out exploring NYC instead of being in your room.
