Jenny and Ted are wonderful hosts, as already shared by other reviewers and I can only concur with them! Ted made me feel welcome from the get-go and made sure my stay would be as effortless as possible. Both the check-in and check-out went smoothly. The room is exactly as stated in the listing and I especially appreciated the good bed, fast Internet, the private entrance and the air-conditioning in the room. The private bathroom and shower were fantastic and the shower worked fine.
The small fridge in the room is nice for your own snacks and drinks. Ted also provided every day fresh new water to the fridge, which was nice when you'd arrived back in the evening after a hot day. Ted also offers freshly brewed coffee and pastries in the morning, brought to a table behind a door that separates the room from their apartment. Such a nice touch in the morning! Be sure to ask Ted about local recommendations, because he is very knowledgeable about New York and is happy to help getting around and finding good places.
There's a well stocked supermarket next to the 6 downtown line station some 300 meters from the apartment. The supermarket offers anything you'd need during your stay, including fresh food and snacks. You can also get some proper New York slices from across the street from Sam's Pizzeria- highly recommended if you are into pizza :)
However, there are two things I want others to also know about when staying here. The street where the apartment is situated is not a particularly busy one, but it's New York and there will be cars driving by and honking anyway. There's also the train track next to the apartment and the trains can be heard to the room. This makes sleeping with the window open in practice not possible. So if you are visiting during a hot summer time like I was, and the temperature is in the 70F (20C) also during the night, you may want to run the AC also during the night. The AC makes some noise, so what I did, was that I slept with earplugs which worked completely fine for me. I am not saying this as a negative to this place particularly, but something that you may want to be aware of - it's New York after all and there's noise everywhere.
