I really liked my stay at Rani and Harry's place first of all because the very extremely helpful when I needed and them. The room is very tiny but has what one need of bed, closet and desk. I'd say it could be more clean, which go for the whole apartment, but to the prize I'd not expect that. Had no encounters with no mice, no cockroaches .
I'd the neighbourhood has a great deal of charme for what comes to outdoor grill parties, and a lot of local and strange shops and street culture. Itsn't particulary manhattan, but a just as living and interesting part of New York.
