Marvis and Nigel were incredible hosts, they live in a fourth floor apartment with no elevator which was not really a problem for us. The room was clean, offered a lot of privacy and had an amazing bed. They both made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed, letting us use their kitchen was very convenient for us.
There is a subway station really close by, which can get you to the center of Manhattan in 15 minutes if you get on one of the express trains.
It was a pleasant experience for us and would recommend staying with them.
