I didn't meet Rebecca, but her parents were very friendly on check-in and showed me to my room. The room was clean and spacious as advertised, towels in the room, and very easy to figure out everything I needed during my stay.
There were a couple of things I'd note - one is that the 2alls are very thin, and since it is a family home if there are people around talking it can be quite noisy. I found it hard to sleep past 9am, but if you're an early riser and spending the days in the city this probably won't be too much of an issue! I only came back to the room at 8/9pm each night and it was quiet at these times.
The other thing I noticed was that the room was VERY warm - I couldn't figure out if there was a way to turn the heating down, so I tried using the AC unit but despite being on max cool all night it didn't seem to have much bearing on the temperature, so I ended up sleeping with the window open.
Otherwise, a very comfortable stay, the area felt safe and friendly to walk through at night from the subway, and the subway was super convenient to get into Manhattan!
