Larry and Nora are great hosts - very friendly and helpful. They greeted us warmly, helped us with any questions we had, and when we had to leave with heavy suitcases they generously offered a ride to the metro, which was very sweet. The room was tidy and cozy, there were some water bottles and coca cola when we arrived. The shared spaces were always clean. I loved that they have set up recycling bins in the kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly. The location is great as well - very comfortable transportation to Manhattan, just 5 minutes away from the bus which takes you straight to metro. Overall, it was a great experience.
