This place surpassed all my expectations. The building is old but the apartment is newly renovated. Check-in process was smooth and I had my spare set of keys so I could come and go at my own convenience. The room/bed was very comfortable and clean. The room has a big closet where you can store your suitcases and hangers are available for your clothes. A desk/chair is also available in case I wanted to work. I had a private bathroom for myself and the kitchen (with utensils/refrigerator/drinking water) was also available in case I wished to use it.
The location is great. 157th St subway station is right outside and the 1 train will take you to Times Sq-42 St in 20-25 mins. From Times Sq-42 St, you can take a train to any part of New York City or a bus to other cities. So it's really great for tourists. The apartment building is a block away from everything you will need during your stay. McDonalds/Dunkin/Subway are all 1-2 blocks away. Overall, a great experience and top value-for-money. I was here for interviews and Baden, Emerson and Veronica made me feel at home. Would highly recommend their place and would definitely choose to stay here again next time I am in NYC.
