Beth was very kind and helpful with advice on where to eat nearby, local festivals, and transportation. She let us share her driveway as well. There was a nice breakfast with something for everyone each morning. She rents out a few other rooms in the house, and though we all use one bathroom it was cool to meet more people. The AC unit is loud but we aren't light sleepers and slept fine. I do suggest earplugs if you sleep lightly because you can also hear other guests walk around at night since the wood floor creaks. Her cats were very cute! Location was very close to a subway stop that can take you to Barclays or even Times Square all day. All and all great stay, would stay again!
