I was very grateful that the cosy room was ready early when I arrived after a long 18 hours flight! Valentina's home is very warm, just like her mom! Though the location is not at the center of New York city (around 20-30 mins to town), I like that it is a very quiet and vibrant neighborhood. I came home late but it was safe, I truly enjoyed my stay there! Highly recommend Valentina's place if you are looking for a cosy place to stay in New York!
