Staying at Lumin and Hendrick's place was a very pleasant experience.
The house is about 25minutes from Manhattan, in a good neighborhood.
The facilities of the house are also a good point (good heater, shower, and beds).
Besides that, they were both lovely people and very helping hosts, sending messages since before we arrived in NYC and always available for help when we were staying there.
If you don't mind staying a little bit far from Manhattan, it's a wonderful place.
