It was a great time spending it at Arya's place as it is in the center of Chinatown and the subway lines are literally a 2min walk away which takes you to the central location of NYC. There are always cheap food around Chinatown if you're on a low budget. Arya is a very relaxed, open person so feel free to ask him any questions and he will give you the most accurate answers. I also like the fact that he gives you tips on the area you're traveling to such as the local hangouts. In terms of the room it is quite spacious as I bought a lot of stuff throughout NY and I managed to fit all of it in the room and there is a lot of shared space in the lounge. One improvement is sometimes the house would be a little dusty since I stayed there for 11 days so that may be something for consideration. Other than that this place is very good for it's price as you're a few blocks away from the major subway lines.
