Neighborhood Overview: The mix of cultures and backgrounds, the diversity, is what makes the Upper West Side such a great place to live and visit. There is always something to do within three minutes walking distance, plus we have Central Park and Riverside Park practically next door. Amsterdam Avenue is all bars and restaurants, so there is always something to do and some place to go.

Notes: We have a 2-year old dog in the house, he's extremely friendly and playful, not aggressive at all.

Transit: The proximity to public transportation is SO nice. We're a block away from the subway and 15 minutes from midtown! Parking is available in the building ($40 for 24 hours for sedans, $50 for SUVs), or you can find free parking in the streets, though that sometimes might take 15-20 minutes of searching, Hey, it's New York. Fuhgeddaboudit! ))

Access: Kitchen, both bathrooms, internet

Interaction: As much as they guests want us to interact with them, it's completely up to them.

House Rules: Clean and quiet, we are definitely not into party animals who bring the party home with them. We are young and love to have fun, but within reasonable limits, and out home is our sanctuary form the hustle and bustle of NYC, we expect our guests to respect that.

  • Reviewer: Angela

    Comments: I am so thankful to Sasha and his wife for hosting us so well. He met me at the subway stop a few blocks from his apartment, and walked me there, showing his favorite places to eat along the way, and showing how nice and family friendly the neighborhood is. We could count on them to help choosing the best route to the airport and around the city using the public transportation. They would be available by phone to give directions in case we needed, and this was a great support for me because I have the poorest sense of direction ever. We loved staying there and would stay again. .

  • Reviewer: Martin

    Comments: Staying with Sasha and his wife was a perfect idea! They were so kind with us, friendly and they helped us all the time with everything we need. The room was so comfortable and clean. And the neighborhood is so convenient. Close to the subway and central park. Also they were very flexible with our checkout and they help us to get to the airport in an easy way. Sasha's wife made us an amazing applecake with icecream and invited us with delicious tea. Of course we highly recommend it. Thanks for everything and hope to see you soon!

  • Reviewer: Katherine

    Comments: We had a great stay at Sasha's. He had some awesome advise on what to do in NYC that you cannot find on tourist sites plus had the perfect location to commute downtown easily or simply head into Central Park. The room was comfortable with great natural light and aircon. Sasha accommodated our checking in at a late hour (organised ahead of time). Would definitely stay there again.

  • Reviewer: Ida

    Comments: Sasha was a very frendly guy, but the apartment was dirty. The room was nice though.

  • Reviewer: Alona

    Comments: It was my first experience with airbnb and i was lucky to find such incredible hosts as Sasha and his wife, Vika. They are very easy-going, friendly , helpful and hospitable. My friend and I just fell in love with their pet, such a cute and lovable dog. The location is great, easy to get everywhere you want. It is close to the subway and there are also many different places where you can find everything you need. The room was nice and cosy. I will definitely stay at their place again if i go to NYC and I for sure recommend them.

  • Reviewer: Joachim

    Comments: Sasha was a wonderful host. He was very friendly and helpful to indicate us where to go in NYC. The room was large and clean with all the necessary appliances. Furthermore the neighborhood is very nice, I would like to really recommend his place.

  • Reviewer: Natalia

    Comments: Хозяин Саша очень гостеприимный, в день приезда встретил нас у выхода из метро, давал советы по поездке. Квартира находится недалеко от станции метро. Комната ухоженная. Этот район нам понравился: находится в трех кварталах от Центрального парка и недалеко от Музея естествознания. Рекомендую.

  • Reviewer: Amit

    Comments: Obviously, it's a fantastic location, right between the two parks. Subway is just a block away. The neighborhood is safe enough and also the building (it has a doorman) and I didn't worry leaving my laptop there. Sasha and Vicky are really nice and helpful (getting around, recommendations etc). Also, thei're very interesting people who are fun to talk to. They keep the apartment very tidy and clean. Their dog Jax is well trained and super friendly (and funny). I definitely recommend staying there.

  • Reviewer: Ryan

    Comments: Sasha was an excellent host - he's friendly, flexible and helpful. I was in town for meetings and was looking for a quiet and comfortable place today. Sasha was very flexible with my arrival and departure time and gave excellent help in navigating the New York subway. Everything turned out as expected, the room was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. On top of this Sacha made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. He was very friendly and was open to share his personal stories and opinions with me - I really enjoyed talking with him. That said, when I needed my own space, Sasha knew it and let me do my own thing. Jax is an incredibly well trained and happy dog. I would absolutely stay at Sasha's place if I visit New York again!

  • Reviewer: Tommi

    Comments: Great location and great host. We would definitely recommend for anyone going to NY.

  • Reviewer: Sue

    Comments: Sasha and his wife, Vika, made us feel very welcome in their comfortable flat in its wonderful location close to Central Park. When we arrived, Sasha met us at the subway station and showed us the way to his flat. After giving us tea, he took us on a long walk and showed us the sights in the area. The flat was clean and quiet and the room was just as shown in the picture. Thank you for everything, Sasha. We would certainly recommend Sasha's place to anyone looking for somewhere central to stay in New York.

  • Reviewer: Natalie

    Comments: Sasha's location was perfect for us. We were making a quick trip to NYC, with the purpose of walking everywhere and seeing as much as we could. He was great at emails before we arrived, and when we got there he spent an hour walking us around the neighborhood, showing us some sites, and dropping us off at the door of our first museum! The room was exactly as pictured. On the second night his wife made us tea and shared some treats and we stayed up chatting. Thanks for a great trip to NYC!

  • Reviewer: Jin

    Comments: Sasha was the best host I could have asked for for my first time using Airbnb. He told me what metro lines to take when I was lost, gave me advice to where I should eat, and where I should go. He's the friendliest, the most helpful host. If I ever stay in NY again, Sasha would be my first choice if he would ever have me again! Sasha I'm sorry that we never got to walk your dog with you!

  • Reviewer: Joyce

    Comments: It was lovely staying with Sasha and his wife. Their cozy home is clean, and the bedroom is just as pictured. Sasha picked me up at the subway station, answered all of my myriad questions, and his wife gave me a warm bowl of soup (so great after a long day). If you're new and lost in this bustling city, this is the perfect place to rest.

  • Reviewer: Ravi

    Comments: When we check air bnb places to stay we feel comfortable with the past reviews and book the place, I read the reviews and booked Sasha's place and it was exactly what the reviews said and what Sasha describe his place and surroundings. I have stayed in quite a few and without doubt he is the friendliest. He is very helpful and enjoyed the conversations, the room was clean and good enough and he went to the extent of fixing a new A/C even when I didn't complain about it. Great location, quiet, clean and value for money in NYC. I would recommend to all and I would go back again to stay at Sasha's place.

  • Reviewer: Robert

    Comments: Sasha was very helpful with transportation info and even met me at the subway stop. The room met all expectations. The location is great for public transportation.

  • Reviewer: Sven

    Comments: We had a great stay at Sasha's place! He was always friendly and accommodating whenever we spoke. If you are planning on exploring Manhattan the location doesn't get much better than this. It's fairly quick and easy to catch a train or cab to where you want to go :)

  • Reviewer: Joel

    Comments: Had a great time with Sasha! Helpful and kind, a great pair to stay with. Sasha is friendly and personable and provided homegrown suggestions about local spots to check out. We were quite comfy in our air conditioned room. Easy to get to, clean, lots to do/see nearby. Also their dog Jax is super friendly and totally adorable, and we liked the Marvel posters in the room :)

  • Reviewer: Emma

    Comments: Sasha was a great host! My boyfriend and I stayed at his place for 11 days and it was great. The room is very spacious and the apartment is very close to the subway, Central Park, and lots of stores and restaurants. Sasha was very helpful and showed us the area while we walked with his dog. His wife Vika was also very nice and made the best tea and pies. If we every get the opportunity to go back to New York, we would definitely stay with Sasha.

  • Reviewer: Erika

    Comments: A great location, convenient to the subway and to Central Park/ the riverfront.

  • Reviewer: Jacob

    Comments: We had a really great week staying with Sasha and his wife. They made us feel very welcome from the start and gave us tips for exploring the city, aswell as taking us to Jacobs Pickles, a great local restaurant. The room was very clean and as described, so too was the bathroom. The location is perfect for exploring New York, with the subway only a 2 min walk and Central Park 2 blocks away. We were sad to leave and would love to come back and stay there again.

  • Reviewer: Diana

    Comments: It was a pleasure meeting Sasha and his wife. The apartment is ideally located on the UWS and allowed us to easily visit friends.

  • Reviewer: Katina

    Comments: We could not have asked for a better first airbnb experience than we had with Sasha. He greeted us right on time, took us for a tour of his neighborhood, and was more than welcoming. His flat is clean and cozy, and not to mention in the best location near the park, tons of restaurants and the subway. Sasha even let us leave our bags behind as we had a late flight the day of our check out, it was a really great stay and I would definitely do it again!

  • Reviewer: Maria Jimena

    Comments: Era nuestro primer viaje a NY , Sacha nos dio el alcance en la estacion del metro, lo que nos parecio un detalle muy bueno de parte suya. La habitacion muy limpia, tiene aire acondicionado, muy comoda la cama, el departamento muy bonito y perfectamente ubicado, a dos cuadras de Central Park lo que nos parecio genial, el barrio tranquilo y tiene cerca tiendas y resturantes. Sacha y Victoria son excelentes anfitriones, nos hicieron sentir muy bien en nuestra visita.

  • Reviewer: Nick

    Comments: Really great stay with Sasha. He was very accommodating, and the room was exactly as described. Sasha is a very pleasant individual to stay with!

  • Reviewer: Lucie

    Comments: Perfect location, nice people, adorable dog, comfortable room.. Thank you for everything, even if we haven't talked so much because of our "busy tourist's life" but it's for the next time to NY, now we know where to stay !

  • Reviewer: Kevin

    Comments: Sasha was remarkable. Awesome host and wonderful life story. His room and my stay were equally fantastic ... clean, quite, perfect location and most enjoyable. Great experience!

  • Reviewer: Kresimir

    Comments: I was very pleased with my host. Building is placed close to the subway, apartmant was decent, and room was big enough and clean. The most important thing is that I was feeling safe during my stay. Thank you Sasha

  • Reviewer: Frederic

    Comments: L'appartement correspondait bien à la description. Nous avions un espace bien à nous. Nous ne sommes pas resté beaucoup à l appartement car nous avons passé beaucoup de temps à l'extérieur mais le temps passé avec Sacha était agréable. Il nous a très bien accueilli et nous a conseillé sur les lieux à visiter. Première expérience en chambre privée très positive.

    Comments: Sasha was great! He was extremely punctual and gave us a great tour of Central Park.

  • Reviewer: Amel

    Comments: What a nice stay at Sasha's apartment. We couldn't have asked for better hosts for our trip to New York. Sasha and Vicky were like family to us. The area was perfect to enjoy the city day/night. We were so sad to leave them and of course Jax their sweetest dog !!! Thanks again for everything we're going to miss you guys and Vicky's delicious apple pie of course ;)

  • Reviewer: Frances

    Comments: Sasha was a great host- full of information about New York and he made us feel very welcome. We loved the location - close to the subway, supermarkets, and the closeness to Central Park was such a bonus.

  • Reviewer: McKae

    Comments: We really enjoyed our stay with Sasha and his wife. The room was just as described and the location was great! Just a couple minute walk to the subway and to central park. Sasha was a wonderful host! He was very welcoming, had great knowledge about the city, and recommended some great places to eat. We would definately consider staying there again if we come back to the city!

  • Reviewer: Leandro

    Comments: la descripción del anuncio es correcto, la atención y servicio de Sasha es muy buena, muy atentos todo el tiempo, hasta nos acompañó a tomar el taxi el la mañana muy temprano. El lugar esta muy bien ubicado en una zona tranquila a una cuadra del Metro numero 1.

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: The apartment is located in a very good place, near the subway station and easy to go to everywhere. There are good restaurants and shops nearby. Sacha and Victoria were wonderful: nice and kind. I feel very comfortable staying with them. Thank you!

  • Reviewer: Laurène

    Comments: Notre séjour chez Sasha était très agréable. Nous avons pu communiquer facilement et son accueil a été très chaleureux. Il n'a pas hésité à nous donner les bonnes adresses New Yorkaises et à partager quelques moments avec nous ! La description de la chambre correspondait parfaitement à ce qui est donné sur le site (propre et agréable quoi que un peu bruyante mais c'est le propre de NYC). Nous avions même notre salle de bain privative. Agréablement surprise par le quartier qui est très vivant (plein de bons restos et de magasins hipster), central Park est à 5 minutes à pieds de plus le quartier est très bien desservi en transports (10 minutes de la 5th avenue) Nous recommandons vivement l'appartement de Sasha et nous y retournerons avec plaisir !

  • Reviewer: Neil

    Comments: Great stay with Sasha. Good location near to the subway and out of the hustle and bustle of the centre but only 15 mins away. Very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for them. Wish I could have stayed longer and had more time to get to know them better. If I return to NYC I will definitely be staying here. Thank you.

  • Reviewer: Beth Ann

    Comments: Best first experience with Airbnb! Sasha was a great host and the accommodations were as described on the listing. We had everything we needed for a great stay and the location was so convenient to midtown. We had a crazy/busy 24 hour stay and Sasha made us feel right at home for the short time we were there. Highly recommend plus there is a sweet dog to hang out with!!

  • Reviewer: Ari

    Comments: To the room: The location is just perfect, so many possibilities for lunch and brunch. Central Park and Time Square reachable by foot, Subway station just 3 mins away. the bed is so comfortable and everything is so clean. We felt like home... SO HOME that we took the keys with us (Hope you they reached you already...sorry again :D) JUST PERFECT! To Sasha and Vikki: YOU ARE AMAZING! We had so luck with you. both let us feel like home just from the first day. You have to be with them on Thanksgiving, because this guy is doing the best Turkey ever. We miss you so much... "Dear Alkoholiker". You are a big part of our unforgettable trip. Love & Kisses

  • Reviewer: Ulrike

    Comments: Sasha was a very nice host. We had a good time at his place, the room was exactly as pictured and the bed way very comfi for the two of us. The location is perfect for getting to know the upper westside and the central park, nice little cafes and restaurants are nearby and you can reach the metro station very easy within 5 walking minutes. Sasha was very kind, the communication was perfect before and during our stay, he even picked us up from the metro with his cute dog and showed us some good places to eat. We would definitely recommend it!

  • Reviewer: Mary

    Comments: The description of the accommodation's was very accurate. The host Sasha is an absolutely amazing person. His dog Jax is just as wonderful and his wife was very fun and hospitable, always asking if we would like some coffee or tea. Sasha helped us get fast seating as a popular local eater, willingly toured us around central park and other areas, and all around exceeded our expectations. He helped with directions and recommendations as this was our first time really touring the city. The neighborhood is fantastic and there are dogs EVERYWHERE! We were in puppy heaven (we always miss our dogs when on vacation). It is also very conveniently placed by the 1 line. :-) All around we plan to definitely use Sasha again next time we are in the city.

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: Sasha and Victoria welcomed us and they were so kind! Sasha took us to Central Park with his dog, Jax. We had really good time during the stay. He also introduced his favourite restaurant to us, and the owner (his friend) treated us so very well that we enjoyed not only atmosphere but also dishes we had that night. Thank you Sasha and Victoria!!

  • Reviewer: Grace

    Comments: My husband and I were fortunate to find such a wonderful host in Sasha. The area in which the flat is located is phenomenal; just west of Central Park, and between two subway stations that link to many parts of the city and its five Burroughs. The accommodations are quaint and fitting for the traveler who will bask in the many sites and sounds of the city that never sleeps. With great host with a kind temperament, and a place that puts the action of the city accessible at your leisure, makes this economical shared flat an ideal place for your visit in NYC.

  • Reviewer: Rosa

    Comments: Great place. Beautiful apartment with a cosmopolitan air. Met our expectations. Very convenient location for walking and/or getting to public transportation-metro/bus. Great neighborhood. Both Sasha and his wife Vicky were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Sasha met us outside the metro stop and we all walked along with his very friendly well behaved dog Jax. We appreciated Sasha's conversations with us although we didn't spend much time in the apartment. The room is quiet and has plenty of light and pleasant decor. The bed is very comfortable. We would stay there again next time.

  • Reviewer: Austin

    Comments: Sasha & Viktoriya are excellent hosts and their apartment is in a great location in Upper Manhattan, great accessibility to the rest of the island. Sasha is intelligent and charismatic. I enjoyed listening to his story as a Russian immigrant and his experience serving in the US Air Force and his travels around the world. Jax is their very friendly dog, a wonderful part of the home. It was awesome to be back in New York and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to be hosted by Sasha.

  • Reviewer: Talia

    Comments: The apartment was well located on the upper west side near the subway. Sasha was very friendly and hospitable, and he came and met us at the subway stop and offered us suggestions on where to go. The room was fine but not great and the bed was uncomfortable and squeaky because it had some sort of plastic covering. The house smelled like the dog. Though the part of the experience that turned us off the most was that we were quietly talking in our room at night and we were shushed and told to be quiet because her mother was sleeping. We were told that there was no curfew and then from that point on we didn't feel comfortable in the house.

  • Reviewer: Sophie

    Comments: Sacha et sa femme Victoria sont absolument adorables!!! L'appart est très central, très bien situé, propre, et nos hôtes ont tout fait pour qu'on se sente à l'aise. Ils nous ont donné toutes les indications touristiques possibles, pour une arrivée à NY, ça a été génial!!

  • Reviewer: Matthew

    Comments: Värden var väldigt hjälsam. Han mötte mig vid närmsta tunnelbanestation och hade gett tips på hur jag skulle ta mig dit från flygplatsen. Sasha och hans fru var mycket vänliga och lätta att ha att göra med under hela vistelsen. Kvarteret kändes tryggt att vara i även sent på kvällen. Nattetid störde trafiken en aning, i övrigt var allt bra!

  • Reviewer: Omer

    Comments: My first Airbnb experience. Sasha and his wife were my first time great hosts! They behave personally and made your stay rocks. I'd recommend their offerings on Airbnb.

  • Reviewer: Pepijn

    Comments: Sasha was kind enough to pick us up at the subway station and walked with us to his apartment. A very kind and hospitable man. We stayed there for four nights and didn't see him and his wife much during our stay because we were in town most of the time. The apartment was okay, but not very clean. The dog was well-behaved and playful, but his hairs were all-over. The location is very good! Nice safe neighborhood, lots of restaurants nearby, super close to the subway and 2 blocks to central park. The price was decent as well.

  • Reviewer: Cristine

    Comments: My cousin and I were looking for a place to stay for a couple of days at the last minute and we were so lucky to have found this listing! Sasha was very quick with his replies and was very accommodating. He was very friendly and had the cutest dog. The room was perfect for two people and it was very quiet, in a nice neighborhood with plenty of great coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. We really felt like were home. We were sad to have only stayed a couple of days but definitely recommend him!

  • Reviewer: Kathryn

    Comments: Although my trip to NYC this time was short, I couldn't have asked for a better place to lay my head. Sasha's room was exactly perfect for my short stay - comfortable bed with good pillows, cold A/C, warm shower and right around the corner from the Metro. I'm only sad I didn't get more time to chat with Sasha, his lovely wife and their adorable dog! I felt very safe and welcome, and on the last morning, I got a lovely cup of coffee with some Russian chocolates. I'd love to stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Tamilla

Sasha war sehr nett und hilfsbereit und der Hund ist auch sehr freundlich. Er ist sehr gut erzogen und man muss auf jeden Fall keine Angst vor ihm haben

    Comments: Great location! Great host! Sasha was very helpful and more than welcoming. The place is quiet and the area is nice, safe and not too noisy. Close access to metro makes it easy to get anywhere in Manhattan in no time. We would go back anytime! Jax is an amazingly quiet and friendly dog :-)

    Comments: Très accueillants, sympathiques et disponibles, en ayant eu l'occasion de discuter avec Sasha et sa femme. Logement exactement comme sur les photos, très proche de la ligne 1 pour aller au centre de Manhattan (ou pour monter sur Harlem). Je suis resté 5 nuits, tout s'est très bien passé ! Je retournerai là-bas sans hésiter !

  • Reviewer: Leslie

    Comments: I had a great time at Sasha's place . Santa greeted me and gave me some tips on the neighborhood and then I hardly saw him or his beautiful wife after that! ( But when I did they were always charming and welcoming). Nice neighborhood -be sure to visit the Sturgeon King a half a block away!

    Comments: I really enjoyed staying at Sasha's apartment - he was very accommodating and let me check-in earlier than usual. Sasha and his wife were very friendly and made me feel at home although it was a short stay. The apartment is located very close to the subway and it is clean and spacious. Would definitely want to stay again if I get the chance to visit NYC next time!

  • Reviewer: Kai

    Comments: We (a girlfriend and me) stay for 4 nights/ 5 days at Sashas apartment. The location of the apartment is pretty good. You have only 3 minutes walking to the metro station of lines 1,2,3 who drives really good for typical tourist attractions. Also you need only 5-10min walk to the central park. Sashas room was similar as on the pictures. The room has only a desk, a little site board and the bed, but this was enough for our purposes. The room was very clean and we got towels of Sasha. Further he and his wife and also his dog are really nice and helpful and Sasha told us about really nice not typical tourist places in the City. Our Facit, we would everytime again stay at Sashas apartment!

  • Reviewer: Adam

    Comments: Sasha and Vikki were excellent hosts and we couldn't have enjoyed our vacation as much as we did without their companionship. The night we arrived Sasha immediately made us feel at home, welcoming us with open arms and personally walking us over to a great nearby restaurant (check out Jacob's Pickles!). Along with their personality, Sasha and Vikki's home provided the perfect space for our base of operations, boasting spacious living quarters, a lovely bed, and ample storage. The neighborhood was also ideal; we had everything we needed within walking distance, and two nearby subway stops for when we wanted to go downtown. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone spending some time in New York! You won't regret it.

  • Reviewer: Kenrick

  • Reviewer: Cady

    Comments: Sasha was great - very friendly, had all necessities available, and checked in with us often but not obtrusively. His "guard dog" was just as sweet as could be; we wanted to take him home with us! We would definitely recommend him for any guests wanting to explore the city.

  • Reviewer: Cheyenne

    Comments: Sasha and his wife were excellent hosts! They let my friend and I check in early, and when we arrived the room was very clean and they even gave us a key for our door.

  • Reviewer: Katie

    Comments: Sasha's place was nice. He was also great at communication as said previously in other reviews. My friend and I got in at 7am and he even let us drop off our bags once we got there, so we had time to explore. One thing to note the door is a bit of a pain, but other than that it was a nice stay.

  • Reviewer: Daniela

    Comments: This was a great cozy little room for me and my fiancé in a fantastic location on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Sasha was extremely friendly, showed us around the apartment and gave us food recommendations when we arrived. I ended up having to do some work during my stay and the apartment was quiet and comfortable for that. There was a table with two chairs and a full bed in the room. Keep in mind you are sharing space and a bathroom/shower with another couple. Plus their adorable dog Jackson, who was a welcome added bonus. Would stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Anna

    Comments: Sasha's place was one of the best I've stayed at through Airbnb! My friend wanted to visit NYC, and Sasha made us both feel at home in their apartment. The only minus is that we could only stay for one night - I would have loved the opportunity to talk with him and his family more. Also, DEFINITELY take his recommendation for Jacob's Pickles. It is divine!

  • Reviewer: Eduardo

  • Reviewer: Patricia

    Comments: Sasha is a great guy! We had lots of fun with him and he gave us great tips for our stay in New York. 1 minute walk to the subway...5 mins to Central Park by foot. It's a small room with only a bed, a table + two chairs and a dresser...if you don't need much, it's the perfect location for you. We had a blast!

    Comments: Sasha y Victoria son atentos. Su perrito es hermoso y ama a todos. El departamento está muy bien ubicado y puedes llegar fácilmente a Downtown.

  • Reviewer: Celine

    Comments: The location of Sasha's place is fantastic. The room is very simple but completely serviceable. The room is on a busy well-lit street and it is very loud at night. I would definitely recommend bringing a mask to sleep in if light bothers you as the curtains are sheer. Sasha and his wife were very easy to communicate with and overall my stay was good. The check in and check out process was a breeze and It was nice to explore a part of New York I've never stayed in before. Highly recommend this place if you're on a budget and don't need a lot of frills.

  • Reviewer: Anya

    Comments: A convenient option with good access to the city. Seemed to be a lot of people in the apartment - so sharing the bathroom was a challenge. Communication was a bit of a challenge, but the room was simple, clean, and a great option for a night. Hosts were very nice and welcoming.
