The hosts are wonderful! Communication was great and they were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again. Everything is close to you and 3 Subways lines gets you everywhere in NYC. Loved it here and would highly recommend it to anyone. Four adults stayed here (one couple in bunk beds) and we were comfortable. We did not cook at the place as we were out enjoying NYC and the wonderful food but it is equipped with all you need if you wish to do that.
