Yves is very friendly and helpful host. Don't be afraid of his dog. She is the most lovely dog you'll ever meet. The apartment was clean and very well maintained. The shared space that includes kitchen and living room was very big and comfortable. There is even a balcony from which you can see the highest of the Manhattan's skyscrapers. Be careful of the mosquitos as unfortunately there ara no meshes in the windows (but AC works so you may have no need to open the window). The location is very good as well. Bus stop is just next to the apartment and subway which takes you directly to the Times Square in less than 15 minutes is just 10 minutes walk away.
