If you’re looking for the real NYC experience, this is the place. This is a typical basement room people normally rent in Queens, complete with very narrow, steep stairs, low ceilings, and exposed pipes. Noisy roommates are thrown in for a bonus! If you’re looking for a hotel type room, this is not your place. If you want an authentic NYC adventure, and live like the locals, this is definitely your place.
Freddy, the host, is a super friendly and helpful guy. He knew we had a rental car, so he parked his car on the street to save us a spot for when we arrived. Everything was clean and all necessities were provided. The only advice I’d offer is if you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs.
