Santiago is really great host, very responsive and easy going. My flight was late and I showed up later than promised, Santiago was totally OK with that and kindly helped me with getting around the area and getting to the city. Subway station, 24h grocery store, pharmacy and a nice diner are literally 1 min walking. It took me more time to get to Manhattan than description says, but it was still OK, approx 45 mins. JFK is really close, about 10 mins, so you can be sure to get to the airport right on time. The room itself is just like at pictures, clean and comfortable. I don't think you'll be able to find any other room with PC, cable TV for this price in NY, however I didn't use any of these. This place is really a great deal.
