great location, close to subway and to major streets-- easy to get some groceries. Lots of stuff within walking distance even in a snowstorm. Only drawback: shared bathroom. Bathroom clean enough but not pristine. I don't need pristine. There were lysol wipes there, though-- if you are a neat freak. Very narrow stairs to the bedrooms-- not a problem for me, but, for some it might be. Good bed-- mattress kept its shape. Friendly host (I ran into him a couple times in the kitchen). Very good value for the price.
