Karina was a great host! She was there to welcome us, and left us with fruit and water to start our adventure in NYC. She also checked with us through texting during our staying. Her room was kept nicely, and clean. The location was very convenient to the most of places we wanted to visit - Time Square, subway stations, many great restaurants, plus Michelin starred restaurants! A great Laundromat was few steps away. Two things to keep in mind though - there is no elevator in the building and it can be noisy at night. Karina did have a trick to keep the noise away if you need it. Overall, We had a wonderful time there.
