We explored all over New York during our visit, so this location definitely met our needs. Close to the subway, short walking distance to RiteAid/CVS, shops and restaurants, and safe neighborhood to walk in at night. Laurie was a gracious host, with breakfast readily available upstairs, even though we never got to partake since our plans required us out the door by 7am. The private entrance was definitely great as to not disturb other guests. We did run into some kinks with the air conditioner (it wouldn't turn on at one point!), and Laurie was extremely compassionate and communicative. After some tinkering, we got the air conditioner to work again, a definite must in the July heat.

I recommend this location if you're planning a visit.
