Great place and location - Cara is a proper New Yorker and the whole neighborhood feels authentically New York (as opposed to touristy). Of course there is also easy access to the tourist locations by Subway. Cara is very welcoming and trusting. She was away most of the time while we were there, and basically trusted us with her entire house, letting us use the kitchen, washing machine etc. There is plenty of space in the room for two people and a separate bathroom which is nice. Would definitely go again!
