In a nutshell- I had an awesome experience with this booking, and I would definitely do it again!
The host- He was so gracious and helpful. He was patient when I showed up an hour late for check-in due to travel issues. He helped me with my bags. He was very willing to accommodate my needs and made my comfort a priority. He was very polite and fun to chat with!
The space- the room is one of three bedrooms in a third floor apartment. You can access the floor by stairs or an elevator. The building itself has some character that comes with a little age, but the inside of the apartment is clean and beautifully renovated! Guests coexist in the apartment with the host, and potentially other guests, but this never caused issues for me. I always felt like I had my space when I needed it, but enjoyed the company when I had it. The room included a bunk bed, a smart TV, a mini fridge, a microwave, a desk, and various ways to store clothing. The bed was super cozy. The bathroom was across the apartment, but it was for guest use only. The bathtub was probably one of my favorite parts!
The area- there are lots of markets nearby, and a liquor store right around the corner. There is a bus stop right in front of the apartment, for $1.60 it will take you to Journal Square, where you can take the PATH trains into New York for about $2.25.
Overall, I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend this AirBnb!
