We stayed at Reuben's place for 2 nights and it was great. The room was exactly the same as described and Reuben was really helpful. It's close to ferry (about 15mins walk) so it's easy to get to NY and back (plus you can enjoy the amazing view of NY every day).
I would definitely recommend this place if you want to save money but still be close to Manhattan.
Thank you Reuben!
