I stayed at Emily's place for two weeks when I first moved to New York. The room was quiet, clean and cozy, a great spot to get to know the area, very close to public transit. Her cat is awesome and kept me company, which I loved. There were great delis in the area, open at all hours of the night, so I could grab food at reasonable prices whenever I wanted, which was perfect because I was just starting a new job and keeping busy. Emily was there if ever I needed anything and friendly and helpful whenever I ran into her, but we were mostly on different schedules. Would recommend this to a visitor who doesn't want to be at home much but needs a nice and accessible crash pad or someone who wants to live like a local. Very happy with my stay!
