This is a perfect place for travelers who want to visit the NYC area. The host is attentive and very informative about the area. You are on the East side of Central Park and can walk west to 5th Avenue, a beautiful museum area, and continue all the way across to the West Side and experience Central Park on your way.
The subway train service is within two or three blocks for excellent for service to key stations uptown and midtown and all the way south to the exciting lower Manhattan ethnic neighborhoods and East village etc.
The neighborhood in which the host is located is filled with very good and cheap Chinese food and a variety of local Hispanic establishments offering gigantic portions of delicious food. You can easily eat a good sized meal for eight dollars.
The apartment is clean and the private bedroom is set in the back and very quiet. It is a bargain overall for Manhattan!
