Jonathon's a great host who makes you feel welcome and safe in New York. Whenever we needed anything or had a question, he was quick with a reply either in person or via the app. The room is basic but comfortable, and personally I found it nice to be able to escape to a quieter area outside Manhattan at the end of the day. You're about a 45-minute subway ride from the center of Manhattan, but there's plenty of stuff to do in the area as well.
