Staying at Lorelei's and Alex' house really exceeded my expectations. The room is very spacious and has more than the essentials to offer. From a lot of blankets, various sorts of tea, to a New York guide in German, everything is there. The private bathroom is also quite big and has all the stuff you need, like shampoos and towels. The house in general feels comfy and looks really good with lots of little art decorations and the wooden floors. It is located close to 2 metro stations, with one being reachable in under 5 minutes. So it really is convenient if you want to explore Manhattan or New York City in general, while having the luxury of staying in a house with big rooms. Elvis, the cat, was happy over the ear-scratches we gave him and we were happy to have such a well-behaved and good cat around for some time. Alex and Lorelei also provided us with helpful information and food recommendations for the area. We had a very good stay at their house and definitely recommend staying with them!
