I highly recommend staying at John and Steph's ! They're so kind and helpful, both have a really great personality. The room is clean and cozy and you can get easily to the subway or take a bus to Manhattan :)
They have two incredibly sweet kids, but you won't even recognize them because they're really quiet and respectful when it comes to your privacy. I also had the pleasure to meet their friend Alana :)
Everybody provided me with so much information how to get around, the best places to eat, amazing sightseeing spots and so much more ! You are going to enjoy your stay in New York :)
