I stayed 11 nights at Linda's with a friend. Linda was friendly, the room and bathroom were very clean and the room was equipped with air conditioning which was great because the summer in NYC can be quite hot !
We felt very welcome :)
The few negative items are related to the neighboorhood : although it feels very safe, it can be a little noisy at night. Plus, it is far from Manhattan (about 1 hour to reach the Met for example). But for budget travelers as we were it is still quite convenient and easy to access with public transportation and definitely worth the price.
Thank you Linda for this nice stay !!
