My stay at Herman place was great.
Herman is a great host. We had a few nice talks. I had a lot of privacy as well.
The apartment is spacious and the room is big for Manhattan standards. There is a TV, a fridge, a microwave, and a half bathroom for personal use; which was very convenient. The room is on the back of the building so it is very quiet.
The area is safe and has plenty of restaurants and bars. There is a wholefood near by.
I recommend Herman's place.
