Emmanuel provided a very warm and relaxing experience for me for the week that I stayed in his home. The room was comfortable and the bathroom and shower were very relaxing. And he even provided coffee in the morning and a separate refrigerator for my food. The room has a desk and large monitor that you can connect your laptop too with free Wifi. If you need transportation to the city the Murray Hill train station is a 10 minute walk away. From there you'll be in Penn Station in 20 minutes. If you have a car there is plenty of street parking in front of the house or nearby.
