Anthony is a great host who went out of his way a few times to make sure my experience was a good one. The room is exactly as described the view is incredible, especially at the price! I didn't really get the whole NYC neighborhood thing, but Kips Bay seemed just as nice as the majority of Manhattan. Plenty of dinners and coffee shops nearby and a close subway station as well. There is a bus stop at the door of the building.

The room is small but not cramped at all! If you are looking for somewhere to stay while you explore the city this is great! If you have to stay in because of the weather it's roomy enough for you to do so.
