We had a lovely time at Skip's house, the room is like in the picture, is a big room, with 2 big windows, and a double and a single bed, we just used the double bed and we slept very well all nights, the neibourhoud is very quite and you dont hear any noise. The bathroom is outside the bedroom but next to it. The room and the bathroom were very clean which is very nice.
We have enjoyed the from door stairs every evening to have dinner and a beer, it was good!
Skip is a very nice and lovely person, he always try to help you and he offers you whatever you need, it was nice to chat with him every evening, we would like to spend more time with him but we were out all day.
The location is very good, the Metro station is 2minutes walk from the house and the lines takes you to Manhattan in 15minutes (you can go to times Square or to wall street area without change lines) .Its also easy to get to/from the airport (JFK) from the house, the metro takes you there quick and its much cheaper than a taxi. In NY the distances are very big, and if you want to visit all areas and districts you must take the Metro anyway, and it takes more time to go from the north of Manhattan to the south than to go from Times Square or Wall Street to Skippy's house.
If we go back to New York we will go to Skippy's place again.
