The house was around 40 to 50 mins away to Manhattan by metro, which was a so great place to come back and have a rest after visiting the busy and crowded CBD. The area was quiet, beautiful and safe, near to the subway station, plenty of shops, supermarkets and restaurants. I took about 20 mins walk to the river and the sunset there was stunning. The room was cozy and spacious, with comfortable bed and sofas. The bathroom was shared by four rooms. Sometimes I had to wait for a while, but it was fine as it usually was not a long time. Else, the host just cleaned the bathroom and kept it very neat every day.
Sophie was a very enthusiastic, friendly and nice person. She prepared various drinks and snacks for me and left shared food and fruits in the kitchen as well. Also, she replied my message very promptly and did help me a lot during my stay. It was a good choice to stay here for my first visit of New York. Hope I can come back some day, as the city was so attractive, and so was the lovely house and its host.
