Sharif is a really really nice guy, always responds quickly and was very accommodating in terms of check in time and use of his flat. The location is also great! you can get into the heart of Manhattan in 30 mins flat and the room is in a clean quiet location so it is a great place to relax and power down from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan (while still being close to it). The flat itself is very cool, very spacious and roommates were very helpful and kind. All in all, its a great place to stay if you're ever visiting NYC.!
