Natalie's place is a good deal for the budget-minded traveler. The bedroom was very clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. I really appreciated the small refrigerator in the room. The location was good: very quiet, safe neighborhood with a few small eating places nearby and a short walk to the subway/bus stops. For the most part, the shared bathrooms were clean although the rugs on one of them appeared to be quite soiled and needed to be replaced. My biggest annoyance was the creaky floors and doors. I heard every door opening and footstep in every room near and above me.
