I liked that it's pretty much a hotel room without the hotel price. You get a room with own bathroom. It's much better than staying at a hostel and other hotels for the price you pay. It is above a bar but I did not have any problem with that. It's a nice area near Union Square and NYU so there is plenty of night life around. You can walk to Joe's Pizza which is one of the best NY has to offer. Would definitely stay again.
