Great place to stay! The view is pretty much to the river and to the park. It's in north Manhattan so it's not quite central but is close to the subway. I also love walking around new neighborhoods and I felt safe around it even at night. It's an older apartment building but the room was clean and Alicia supplied towels as well. She is a great host and I really liked chatting with her. She is very personable and happily answers questions if need any recommendations. She was prompt to answer emails and she made sure that she's at the apartment at my arrival time. The room has a half bathroom which is excellent and from the room there is a small side door which gives quick in and out access and the family is not disturbed if heading out super early or going back late at night. I'm very satisfied with my stay and I'd recommend her place to anyone else.
