Charlene is the kind of person you would like to met earlier in your life - positive, cheerful and always ready to assist. My wife and me have spent wonderful week in NYC and Charlene's place was perfect start point for exploring the city.
The room was spacious and VERY clean (I used to walk in my white socks and they stayed white), the bed was nice and comfortable for two adults and the closet with hangers perfectly satisfied our needs. Beside that, windows are oriented to the backyard, so you don't have to worry about the noise. Bathroom was also big, always with hot water and extremely clean.
The neighborhood was quite fine - basically you are two blocks away from subway, one block away from the bus station and you can easily walk to Central park in a 7-8 mins.
To conclude, we were more than satisfied and I will definitely recommend Charlene's place to anyone looking for great NYC experience.
