First time trying a shared bnb. Never experienced dorm life and I have to say as someone who has occasional anxiety issues I didn't feel relaxed like I was on vacation. There were no issues with noise or sleeping or sharing the bath - I just couldn't relax. Having said that, I did enjoy interacting with a couple during breakfast one morning and I would stay here again for a night knowing it's clean and easily accessible to bus and subway lines. Adelle, Frederico and Lydia were all very nice. Couple of things I didn't like was the late check in and no locks on bedroom doors, however, all other guests were respectful of that.
