Pao's place is great in terms of value and location if you want a quieter time in NY. The 7 train that takes 15 mins to Manhattan is a few blocks away but there are plenty of restaurants and things to see in the neighbourhood. Correspondence with our host was quick and reliable when we needed to drop our bags off for early check in, and stay a few hours later than the required check out time. I'd highly recommend this for families, groups and work trips.
