The experience in Niya's place has been very positive and I recommend it to other travelers who want to be in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed total privacy, with its own entrance door and own rest room. No noise at night and a fantastic King size bed where you sleep great. Niya was a fantastic host helping us with the airport taxi that wanted to charge more than they should and facilitating the check in and check out the schedule of our flights. Manhattan communication is pretty good, 10 minutes walking to the subway station and then 25 minutes to arrive Soho, although it is a bit far if you wanna come back to rest at noon. But who wants to rest in such exciting city? Closer to home there is a huge supermarket where you can buy everything you need. The general feeling was that we were at our home in NY, far better than in a hotel where there is more noise and more people. So I really recomend this cool place.
