When you travel, the last thing you want to think about is the place where you rest and sleep. We stayed at Zehra's place 3 days and could not have a better stay in NYC. Best bang for your buck. The location is central (if that means anything in NYC), a few blocks away from Grand Central (10 min), Time Sq (20 min), Central Park (20 min), the MOMA (15 min). You're in Brooklyn in 25 min with the subway (line 6), 20 min from Soho, the Village, etc.
The place is clean and there's plenty of room for a family of 6. I strongly recommend Zehra's place.
