The room is cosy and Gulcin helped us enjoy it even more. The location is perfect, subway is just a bunch of feet away. Can't really call the neighborhood quit but the home stands apart of traffic and crowds so most of the times it was pleasant to stay.
The major thing worth to mention is that the room is located on the forth floor which might be a problem for people traveling with several 50 pound bags.
Pro: a very nice host, great location, reasonable price.
Contra: 4th floor might be not convenient for some categories of travelers.
Bottom line: good choice for Manhattan adventurers.
