Magda's place was cute. It wasn't as clean as I was expecting. The neighborhood was a bit noisy at night. Someone broke into a car at 3am during my stay. I was there in the middle of a blizzard for work and the apartment was quite cold and the thermostat had a note on it not to touch it. The space heater works well but would take a long time to get the bedroom warmed up. The towels they set out for me were sour smelling but I was able to find some on the bunk beds that were fine. The 1st night I kept hearing noises in the kitchen and the 2nd night I encountered a large mouse who was rather bold. He'd pop out while I was cooking, etc. I texted Magda about it and she responded right away that they knew about it and had set traps, etc. They came by the next morning to set more. Food wise there is a great Jamaican place with fancy drinks and good food 3 blocks away. Overall Magda is really nice, it's a nice place if you aren't spending a lot of time there, cooking, relaxing, etc. If you're looking for a comfy place to sleep while popping into the city you'd be golden. If you're looking for a space to relax and cook I'd say its not for you. Also between someone breaking into a car and the overall super packed parking situation I wouldn't suggest this place if you are driving. This place would be great if you have a family and are going into NYC for a vacation.
