Really loved our staying at Sandra's place while we were visiting New York. The best thing about this Airbnb is that, although it is technically located in Sandra's house, it is completely independent, you will be the only host there and you can access it by a private entrance on the side of the house.
Sandra is super nice and communication with her is very easy. She made sure we were comfortable and had anything we needed. The house does not have laundry facility but there is a laundramat right across the road. There are also plenty of shops in the vicinity.
Getting to Manatthan was quite easy. It's a 10 minutes walk to the nearest metro station and then a ~30 minutes trip. There is also a bus stop right near Sandra's house that will take you to the metro stop if you prefer. We really enjoyed our staying there and I would definitely recommend this place!
