Overall, what you see is what you get here. The rooms are small, but enough if you spend most of your time outside. Common spaces were rarely used during my stay. There is a revolving door of tenants, but most of the tenants I interacted with were friendly.
My main concern was that during my check in, my sheets were dirty and the room amenities described in the listing weren't accurate. I couldn't reach the host or the company that this listing is through (Outpost Club) after numerous calls. Subsequently, I contacted Airbnb's customer support and discussed moving to another location. I was given fresh sheets and a new, larger room the next day.
Given the stress of dealing with the host, I will not stay here again. That being said, if you're looking for an affordable place to stay in NY, then this fits the bill.
