I highly recommend Ephraim’s place. First of all, he’s a very hospitable host, greeting us with water, donuts and lemonade. Second, his place is perfect for two people to spend a few great days in NYC. (It’s also very clean!) Third, the location is wonderful, very close to the subway, stores and tons of great pizza places. Without traffic, it’s only a 15-minute drive to La Guardia, which is very convenient.
