I had a fantastic experience staying at Ingrid's place for 4 nights. My room was very clean and spacious with good view from 4 windows. I shared the 2nd bathroom with only one other person. My flight was delayed for more than an hour, Ingrid stayed up late to check me in. It is only 2 minutes walking to subway and 14 minutes subway ride to Time Square. The neighborhood is vibrant with variety of tasty and affordable restaurants including the original Katz's Deli. I enjoyed walking around and seeing the authentic New York. Half of my stay was for business, Ingrid also went above and beyond to help me with my internet needs. As it is located at a busy intersection, I could hear the noise at night from party goers and delivery/garbage trucks. This was well expected as I used to live in New York and I was not bothered by the noise with the windows closed.
