Ervita's place is very clean and homey. It's seems newly renovated tho the building itself is quite old. We stayed for 5 nights and had a very restful stay. She is responsive and very accommodating to our requests. Tho the area isn't the most central (close to the 2 and the 5), takes about 1 hour to get to time square and good restaurants are scarce. Highly recommend if you don't mind sacrificing some convenience for a good bargain!
