Filip answered queries promptly. He left clear instructions for wi-fi and even coffee and filters. Room was as advertised - comfortable bed, air conditioning, private bathroom, towels, shampoo etc. Great value! He was not present (I think the room was his bedroom and he was on vacation), but he left his number if there was a problem or emergency. (There wasn't any.) There were 2 room mates, but, except for a brief meeting, I hardly knew they were there. Neighborhood is fine and less than 10 minute walk to subways to both west and east Manhattan. Be sure to have google maps for the first time you arrive - after that, it's easy. I would return next time I go to NYC.
