We stayed with Susie for a week and it was a great experience. Her hospitality and guidance were extremely helpful to us! The house is also pretty nice, though there were some issues worth mentioning:
PROs:
- The location is perfect! Not center Manhattan, but just next to the F subway line. The neighbourhood is also OK, close to Little Italy, SoHo, Greenwhich, and so on. There were a couple of restaurants and some convenience stores.
- The bedroom was quite comfty, enough room to store all our luggage and very bright.
CONs:
- Even though you could notice that the facilities were being cleaned, we felt that this topic could improve. We did find some little bugs at the kitchen and bedroom, and the fridge was hard to use as it was almost full. In spite of this, we didn't feel so uncomfortable because, overall, the house was welcoming.
- There is no elevator, so be prepared to use the stairs a lot! (This is not neccesarely a disadvantage).
BOTTOM LINE: we definetely recommend this apartment. The price/quality ratio is pretty good, the location is awesome and Susie's hospitality is the cherry on top of all these good features.
