So I lived in the room for 5 days and all in all it was a nice stay. The metro station is super close (guess it takes around 15 minutes to Manhattan) and also supermarket, café, etc. are just around the corner. Next to the bed there is also a couch in the room so you have enough space for your luggage etc. I have to mention that the room has no AC and just a window to the living room so there isn't a chance to let in fresh air. You have a fan for the hot days/nights, it works great to cool down the room but it's also really noisy. I'm a light sleeper and couldn't sleep with the fan on, but I can work great for other people :) another thing that annoyed me a bit was the fact that the apartment is badly soundproofed and it has two levels, so someone has his room directly over yours and you hear every step, when the cats running around over your head etc. once again, I'm really sensitive with noisy stuff like this so maybe someone else doesn't mention it at all. The cleanness of the apartment is ok and the roommates are nice. I just had the chance to meet Loralee for a few minutes but she seemed really nice and also the contact before I moved in was great.
All in all I can recommend this apartment if your looking for an affordable place for a city trip!
