Space is shared with others. Located in an urban community full of families and friendly folks. Can be noisy during the hot summer nights ( bbq & to be expected). Temporary roommates may not be as tidy thus common spaces are not well maintained. If you are traveling to NYC throughout your trip I recommend paying the extra funds to stay closer. Car Service and public transportation adds up. No options for food or nightlife. You get what you pay for. This location does allow for more money to be spent in the City. Safe and Comfortable. Friendly host. I recommend having a conversation with other guest to discuss expectations.
