Although Jeanette is an amazing host, the place itself is terrible and unliveable. Starting from the elevator to the washroom and shower, to the flooring, to the kitchen, basically everything is too old to be used. The whole place needs to be renovated. The location is not bad, although it is a bit far from Manhattan and downtown. If you are visiting New York, it will be a bit far from the center but it is also 10 minute walk to the subway, which is ok.
