This is an awesome, budget friendly location. No frills, clean and comfortable. Don’t come here expecting luxury, this is apartment living/sharing at its most basic.
The area seems a little dodgy (the Macey St train station area is a little rough). But don’t let it put you off, it’s a great little neighborhood with lovely people and so many great places in walking distance.
The room with the queen bed is airy with a decent wardrobe to store stuff. It’s a private room that you can lock, which is great. The bed is super comfy.
The bathroom is tiny but it’s a decent shower with good heat and pressure.
The kitchen has everything you need, and you’re welcome to use the fridge to store things.
You could be unlucky and experience a bit of neighbouring apartment noise, so if you’re a light sleeper, maybe take some ear plugs. But the nights I stayed, I couldn’t believe how quiet this block is. No traffic noise, no cars, trains, nothing... it was super peaceful.
There’s a bus depot 5 minutes away and the Macey Street station is 6 minutes away with a M train a few stops away from Soho/Little Italy/Chinatown etc.
The check in process was seamless and Drew was super helpful and lovely to chat to. Couldn’t recommend this place more for a no-frills crash pad for a New York getaway.
