We read all the great reviews beforehand and had high expectation, but we absolutely felt the host family and the place were absolutely better than what we ever hoped for. Though we were checking in late in the evening, Yoshi made sure we felt welcomed and cared for. Every breakfast they offered prepared us to start the day well and pleasant conversations lifted our mood from jetlegged brains. Also, this listing is very clean in every corner and has the most comfortable bed and nicest bathroom you would wish for. The location was perfect to explore the city and all the major sites are in walking distance. If you was going off a bit far, Penn station and other subway stations were nearby. This home will be my number one recommendation for anyone who's looking for Airbnb in nyc!
