You can expect exactly what he offers. The place is near the subway, great food around the area. Super close to Times Square and other activities. The cabinets in the room are packed with anything and everything you may need as a guest. From ear plugs to umbrellas and a few other protective items. Hahah. The host will leave you alone unless you want to get his advice on the local scene, and if you want to engage in conversation....that option is available too. Great guy.
