Me and my colleague travelled to NYC to visit the city. We stayed here very pleasantly. The place is silent at nights, very good for resting. It is 20-25 minutes far from the very center by subway, at nights the subway runs "local" and it's 40-45 minutes. This should be no problem if you plan well your trip. It was cheap, and the place, clean enough. Deon, the host, was very kind and considerate.
