It was my first time in New York, and I would say it’s one of the best stays I’ve had. Helen is such an awesome host! She replies to my message almost immediately, which made it a lot easier to get to her place. Her place is close to a deli, supermarket and some great restaurants. Most importantly, it is super close to the train/subway station.
The neighborhood was pretty safe as well.
The room is quite spacious for two people with refrigerator and private bathroom! Unlike other places where you have to share the house, this place is totally private. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable as well. The only thing is that it might get cold at night, but she does have a heater in the room, so no worries.
I would definitely rebook it if I ever go to NY again.
(PS. Helen makes awesome granolas :) )
