Kumar was a fantastic and welcoming host. He welcomed us via emails and text messages and was easy to communicate with. We were set up from the beginning with detailed instructions on how to get to the place and with hints and tips on where to shop and visit and eat on a laminated card on the fridge. It culminated with a tour of the restoration project he's doing to his home which is right upstairs. A welcome change in the Airbnb where it is actually his home and it's not a superhost with multiple properties.

The location was fine with many subway lines servicing it. Got us all the way from Brooklyn (after we walked across the bridge!) to home very efficiently. Use the A, B, C, D or 1 lines.
