I brought a small group of college students to NYC as part of a May Term travel course. Since we spent every day in the city, all we needed was a clean, safe, and relatively inexpensive place to live throughout our week-long stay. If you are looking for a fancy accommodation with a hot tub or balcony, this isn't it, but I do not think it's possible to beat the location, price, safety, cleanliness, and ease of transportation to the city from this particular VRBO. David, the owner, was also very informative about bus lines, restaurants, etc., and he responded to any of my messages quickly.
