Ana is a lovely host and her flat is great for a NYC stay. It's very centrally located, and it has a nice layout to accommodate two people (a separate bedroom works well!). Great natural light in the apartment, near lots of local restaurants (we started each day at Pick a Bagel at the end of the block), good wifi. My only comment would be that the city street noise can be quite loud -- the windows are not double paned so for me (I live on the coast in CA), it took some getting used to and I was very happy to have ear plugs during the night.
