despite all the good comments about the host, he never contacted us during the trip. there was not enough toilet paper, soap and shampoo for 3 pax x 8 days. The neighborhood is ugly and dirty. And there was always a loudly ring sound during the night that wake you up!!!. It takes about 1 hr to get to Manhattan (low frequency on J line). The space was good but not worthy as the location is definitely not the best.
