Edel is an incredible nice and helpful host. She showed me around in the neighbourhood and gave pointers to restaurants and shops in the area. The room is big, nicely decorated and includes a private restroom, bath was shared with two other very nice, quiet and easygoing tenants. Comfortable bed. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the room is located almost directly under Manhattan Bridge with trains running by every 5-10 minutes. But, Edel provided earplugs and that helped a lot! I stayed there for 4 weeks and would definetly recommend it to others, but not if your planning to work from home, because of train-noise.
