The location is great for a single traveler who wants to be near good public transportation and to be able to walk to restaurants and other points of interest. The description of the apartment is accurate; the bedroom is on an airshaft so there is no natural light in the room. The host provides fans and air conditioning so the temperature in the room is comfortable. The host, and her dog, are very welcoming and helpful. The host also provides many books about NYC. Communicating with the host was very easy. Also, I found there was a good balance between interacting with the host and respect for privacy.
