Laura and her husband Gerlando are very friendly people and we had a really good time at their place! They helped us with some problems that we had and they showed to be very hospitable. The room is a little bit far from manhattan but is also very well connected! You just have to take the line 7 after a walking of less than 15 minutes :) I strongly recommend this apartment, also because there is a private entrance and it's like if you had your own home in NY!!
