I went as a lone white female to this place and I didn’t have a single problem (not that I expected any) walking back and forth to the subway (about 10/15 min walk) everyone inside the building and outside was lovely I went out at night on my own so I was walking back at around 2/3 in the morning sometimes and I felt so safe that I had my headphones in walking down the street. I would say it is a little noisy due to people meeting up outside to socialise and music being played but most of the time they finished by 9/10 pm. 2 grocery stores on your doorstep pretty much. A towel, bar of soap (new) roll of kitchen paper and a roll of loo paper was provided. I will be going there again if I need to stay in New York.
