Efrain went way beyond normal hospitality in his helpfulness and kindness! We had some trouble taking care of our business in NY and he was still helping our situation after we had returned to Europe. He is a super great host.
The location is great for exploring Manhattan. Also just around the corner there is a nice quality cafeteria for breakfast and a health store, karaoke bar, a restaurant.... All you need is within a 5-15 minute walking distance, including the metro station.
