I spent three weeks at Monica's apartment after moving to this city. The host is friendly and quick to respond to my questions or concerns. The room itself is crazy big - so jealous! It is clean and neat. Furniture is as pictured. The location is nice and quiet and safe. Easy 3 blocks to the nearest subway station. Not a far walk to some restaurants and grocery stores. The bed is creaky so this may bother someone who tosses and turns a lot. It didn't bother me. Also, this is an older building (like most of NYC), so the plumbing, while functional, has a leaky shower head for instance. Close the bathroom door and you won't hear the water dripping. The pros of this space definitely outweighs any cons. I would definitely stay here again if the occasion arises. :) Thanks Monica!
