Besinfe's place was very quiet and large and clean. I was staying there for interviews and felt like I could come and go comfortably and never had any issues getting sleep or using amenities. Because it's right on Broadway I found it easy to get to which is great for someone not familiar with New York. Besinfe is a thoughtful host and asked me many times if there was anything I needed. I really enjoyed the neighborhood and sitting on the fire escape with had lovely views of the water and the sunsets. There's a mix of cheap places to eat and more "hip" bars all within walking distance. It felt more like a place where people live and less like a tourist center which I enjoyed. The perfect place to stay to get a real New York experience! Totally a steal!
