This was a wonderful experience. Byron was a great host - very welcoming, thoughtful, and accommodating. Location on NW side of Manhattan is very convenient to everything, and a close walk to the subway allows easy access to the city. I normally have to resort to staying outside of Manhattan due to the high price of lodging on the island. Not anymore. And, of course, there are myriad benefits of having a "home" rather than a generic room when traveling. Highly recommended!
