It was a truely positive experience staying at Larry's place, he was an excellent host responded quickly to my emails. The place itself is located in a multi ethnicity building, central park was a stone's throw away and it's only two blocks from the metro stop B and D local trains, which will bring you to the center Manhattan in about 15-20 minutes. Whole Foods, Laundromat Xtreem Kleen and eating out options are within an easy walking distance. The very positive thing about the bathroom is you are able to take off the hand shower set, I think this especially cool for the ladies if you only want to wash your hair. The queen size bed was very comfy too .The only downside was the occassionally slow Internet connection. For everyone who is looking for a local experience while visiting the city I can highly recommend the place!
