Tim is by far the best host I've had the pleasure of staying with on Airbnb. He gave us tips to the city and his place is charming and cozy. The basement is simple and has an authenticity about it. Getting on wifi was easy and has a good signal. Bus stop is right across the street right to the ferry which is free. The ferry offers a great view of the Statue of Liberty in which we heard more than one local recommend the ferry as being the best view of the statue. If you want a good feel of the city with great hospitality from a wonderful host this is highly recommended.
