Susan and Michael are super friendly and nice. The place has a great smell as soon as you arrive, garden is super great, you'll have everything you need and also have privacy. The closest metro is about 8 min walk. If you a light sleeper the noise from the highway nearby might be a problem for you, but earplugs are in the room. And hey you'll get used to lots of different sounds all the time in NYC. I'd definitely recommend the place. Ps. thanks for your hospitality.
