Ashley's place was clean, matched the pictures, and very comfortable. I couldn't believe I was able to sleep on that futon so comfortably. The place is located in a kind of industrial area of the city. 25$ cab ride to Manhattan or a 58 min bus and train ride. We loved exploring the neighborhoods through public transport so we didn't mind the location. Although we never met Ashley, she checked in on us once we were settled in. We would recommend staying with Ashley :)
