I stayed in the room for a month. It's a good room for such a cheap price. Julie is a laidback host and was very responsive every time I had a question or a problem.
The building is a bit dirty but the room and Julie's apartment are clean. I regularly used the kitchen which is well equipped. The bed is comfortable.
The area is safe. There can be some noise outside, mostly on weekends, but New York is loud everywhere. Walking distance from nice cafés between East Williamsburg and Bushwick, and 30 mins to Lower Manhattan. I would recommend Julie's room for a month's stay in New York.
