Yves’s place was just as described. When we first reached the check-in process was so easy. He greeted us in person within a few minutes and offered to take us on a walking tour around the neighborhood to help orient us. We took him up on this offer and it ended up being an hr tour. He was very hospitable and kind, letting us know the local spots around the block as well as some places in NYC. His place is very close to the subway less than a 5 min walk and conveniently takes you directly into the city. The place itself is very clean. The sofa also turns into a bed which Yves also set up for us. It is a basement so there are no windows however I would still highly recommend the place to anyone who is looking for affordability and easy access to the subway.
