Very good location -- uptown, but a block from the express lines to get you anywhere you need to go, and right on the park. Easy to access, very safe, quiet elevator building. Host is super cool -- he's an artist, and hallway and bedrooms are filled with his original paintings. Beds are comfortable, mini-fridge works fine. Our room did not have the coffee maker pictured, others did (he has multiple rooms available). Host goes to lengths to ensure place is quiet for your comfort. Lots of good coffee shops, bakeries, casual restaurants around. Really everything you need for a tour of NYC.

Only bad thing -- hot water in apartment is not very good. It is above room temperature, but just barely, even after you run it for 5-10 minutes. If you like long hot showers, not a good choice for you.

Might not be a good listing for people with small children. Much of the art and furnishings is breakable.
