What a wonderful affordable place to stay in NYC. While it is a bit out of the heart of Manhattan the place is very close to the subway and the A train is express and you are where you need to be in about 20min. The hosts pre arrival instructions and a binder with info were very helpful. The room is large and bright. There are a few bodegas nearby and a nice cafe for breakfast. We stayed a week and felt very much at home and nice to be out of the touristy area.
