The place is close to transportation, restaurants, shops. Ronnie was waiting for me when I arrived, showed me the room where a pitcher of filtered drinking water waiting. I enjoyed chatting with Ronnie and learned things about NYC I didn't know before even though I went to School in NYC. There are loads of books to read in the room as well as maps and a subway card for guests. The setting was private and just as described in the listing; I had the run of the kitchen and bathroom pretty much to myself...there weren't any problems. All in all, I had a great visit.
