Ideal for a cheaper alternative to staying in NYC but close enough to explore there daily. It’s a 5-10min walk to the closest train station and then a 15-20min journey to NYC. Because of the time it took, we would pack a backpack and spend all day in the city to then return to the room late at night. Hence we didn’t spend much time in there other than sleeping. Small basic room but sufficient for a couple. Small refrigerator with cold water was appreciated. Shared bathroom shower shelf very messy. Minimal communication with host as it’s a self check-in process which was fine with us. Only downside was the very unhelpful advice from host when I asked them for the easiest way to travel to the apartment. Would say this is a good option for those wanting to see NYC but not willing to pay the $$!
