My friend and I enjoyed staying at Rosaly's place. First of all it is close to the subway station, so you can literally go anywhere, but stop is also right there if you need to take the bus to the airport. The neighborhood is pretty much safe, even though it may seem not from the first sight.
Second of all, Rosaly is a great host. She is super nice, kind, polite and sociable. If we needed something, she was always there for us. Definitely recommend this place! I'm completely satisfied. If I'll get a chance to come back to NYC, will book Rosaly's place :)
