We stayed with Edward for 2 weeks and we had a great experience. The room and apartment provides you with all the basic things you need in NYC. The apartment is located in the basement of a very popular part of town where there are always things to do and is close to the tourist shopping and sightseeing areas. Edward gave us tips about where to go and provided us with a subway map and tourist guide. Edward was a great host, we could reach him anytime if we had questions or needed some info about something. Overall, a great experience
