This place has left us with mixed feelings. The place is one of a kind, a unique experience of staying in NYC with a very nice host and located closely to bus and subway stops, however me and my wife did leave the place 4 days earlier than planned - mostly due to hygienic reasons (amount of dust and bathroom). We felt a bit deceived by the bathroom pictures vs. real life experience - some thorough cleaning and some new paint would do the trick though. In the end it's really what you're looking for - a bit more of the unusual and a unique stay with OK comfort (after a good cleaning though...) or more comfort after a long stroll trough the city - which in the end suited us better... A tip if you choose to stay here - bring some earplugs for sleeping, it could be quite noisy at some moments.
