Citiview Guesthouse is an 1870s loft with only two rooms, but its affordable rates, easy access to cultural spots, and status as gay lodging put this small guesthouse on the map. The two guest rooms offer extra-firm mattresses, central heat and air, and thick Egyptian cotton towels. Most important is the owner's passion for sharing New York with his visitors, and for imparting gay travel tips for the city. Four subway lines converge close to the guesthouse, offering quick access to attractions like Times Square or the gay hubs of Greenwich Village and Chelsea.
