Funda's place was exactly as we expected and as she describes in her profile. Sure, it's not anything like the splendid new place, and some parts of the house need reconstruction as she mentions, yet it's a great place for value. It's located in a safe area, really near the shops, restaurants and subway - everything couple of minutes walk. It's close to Manhattan using the subway and very convenient. The large room we stayed in was spacious - to accommodate four of us comfortably and had no problem waiting for the bathroom either. The A/C was working well and so was the internet, which made the heat wave we experienced in NY bearable. I can only recommend Funda's place and will be happy to return any time.
