A friend and I stayed in Herani's place for a girl's weekend to explore the city. It was perfect for us; the apartment was very close to the N W subway station and just a 22 minute ride into the heart of Manhattan. Herani was a gracious host and the apartment was listed at a great price. Herani went out of her way to make us feel welcome and to provide a clean and tidy room to stay in. Note that the apartment is located on a busy street so it can get noisy at night - the only downside among a heap of upsides! Just bring earplugs and you'll be fine. I'd highly recommend a stay with Herani!
