We enjoyed our stay at Ingrid's place. The space is nice and bright with big windows facing away from the main street. We found it to be pleasantly quiet, with very little street noise coming in. There's a subway stop right nearby and various bus stops all around. Ingrid herself was very friendly and had a lot to tell us about the city and places to visit. If you're used to hosts that you never see and never talk to, this is not that! We loved her suggestions for the Museum of New York and Vanessa's Dumplings and many more. We would be happy to stay with her again.
(PS- If you're counting on using the kitchen, make sure you talk about it with her first as it's quite small and limited.)
