Stella is very nice host, considerate and easy to communicate and talk. She is also quick in responses. Rooms are nice as advertised and even better. Location is good and safe, close to subway and everything. It's not very far to walk to Raynes Park(25 minutes) where you can enjoy beautiful Manhattan views. Better and much more popular for the views were Pepsi-Cola Sign and Astoria Park, where you can be quickly via subway and the parks are about 35 minutes away if you walk. The bedroom was clean with a balcony too where I enjoyed a cup of tea in the morning and night.
