Erika's place has everything you would need for a stay in New York. One thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is located at a street through which the fire trucks drive reasonably often, but you do quickly get used to the nightly noises. The place is clean, the bed easily pulled out and very comfortable. If you wish to stay outside of Manhattan but in an area that can take you to Manhattan quickly I would definitely recommend Erika's place. Erika as a host is great, she responds quick to any inquiries you may have.
