The host was very welcoming and check-in was on time.The place is at a great location in uptown Manhattan with an outstanding view to the Hudson River. The room is quite small but had everything the host described. Also, the shower has an excellent water pressure. The area is safe, and the building is secure with very nice doormen. Subway to downtown is 10-12 minutes away. The area has many small coffeshops where you can grab breakfast and many good food options. Overall, great value for the price, ideal if you are travelling alone for a few days
