Doug's place is a great option when traveling to the city on a budget. The unit was exactly as pictured/described and fit our every need. The beds and futons were quite comfortable. Doug was a great host who went out of his way to ensure that we had as best of a trip as possible. He provided a bottle of wine at check-in and some great recommendations. The area was convenient to the city, but as three mid-20 year old ladies we did feel unsafe at times while walking to the subway. Although not enough to deter us from staying at Doug's unit again. The cost savings on the unit greatly surpass the costs of calling a lyft back instead of taking the subway. Our lyft cost from Times Square was around $32. I'd also recommend taking the subway uptown and then calling the lyft. We did this a few times and it cut the lyft cost in 1/2. Overall great stay!!
