Irene and her husband are lovely people and easy to stay with-- they are quiet and chill. I slept very well and enjoyed having a large comfy bed and bathroom all to myself. They have a heater in the room and you can keep the temperature where you like it. The place is between major north south streets so cabs are always available immediately, 6 subway is very close , 24 hour grocery and bodega within a block. There is some street noise but being on a high floor minimizes and it is much less than other places I have stayed in Manhattan. Highly recommend.
