I stayed with Claudia and Ian for one month. They were excellent hosts, super friendly, but also made me feel I had my own space. The room is warm and cosy (we had three snow storms while I was there!) and surprisingly quiet considering it’s near a busy area. The subway is only a few minutes walk away and will get you into Manhattan easily. There are also lots of interesting areas within walking distance. I recommend the area around Morgan Avenue subway station (Sey Coffee, Syndicated dine-in cinema, Roberta’s pizza and Amituofo vegan cuisine). One tip, you like it dark when you sleep at night bring an eye mask, the drapes do not block out the light and there is a small window (high up - the room is really private) into the living area. Definitely recommend for a trip to NYC!
