Great experience. The neighborhood is unbeatable and the price is reasonable. Close to many great bars, Chinatown, canal st, and the subway stop is right outside the door. The building and unit are humble. Fourth floor with no elevator, which can be an inconvenience if you have a lot of luggage, but it was fine for me. It's probably a good idea of what the average person would be able to afford in Manhattan unless you're an investment banker. I never actually ran into the host, but the key handoff was smooth from a local business just downstairs. I would stay there again.
