I had great communication with the hostess. You need to let her know 20 minutes before check-in which is reasonable but might be challenging if you are trying to find your way through the city and driving.
The room was clean, specially the sheets and pillow cases which were very important to us. It's somewhat small for four people but we did not spent much time in our room and just came back to sleep.
Kitchen is well equipped with basic cookware, silverware and appliances to do some cooking.
Hostess (her mom actually) helped us find a close parking spot which was nice.
There are train stations in walking distance (about 15 minutes) and it costs only 3 dollars per person to get to Manhattan and tourist attractions.
Overall it was a pleasant and affordable stay.
