I needed a place to stay unexpectedly and Kay was super responsive and able to let me stay on last-minute notice. He was very friendly, communicative and available to buzz guests into the building whenever needed. I had a good stay with all the basics I needed. The location is excellent - really right around the corner from the subway and with plenty of places within walking distance. All this at a great price makes it a good value.
That said, a few things should be made clear to anyone looking at this room. There is no way for you to get yourself in/out of the building independently (i.e key or door code), so someone needs to be in the apt for you to get in. For me this wasn’t an issue because Kay was around and always replied immediately.
Also there is no AC, and the window has no screen (to keep it open), but there is a fan that helps cool down the room a lot.
The room is bare minimum basics: a bed with sheets only, plenty of pillows, an overhead light and towels. The bathroom is shared with 3 other people, so if you’re willing to wait your turn that’s fine. I also didn’t receive any info on if WiFi was available, but I also didn’t ask about it as I was really only there to sleep.
All in all, it’s a basic room that meets your needs if you don’t need much or anything fancy, with a very friendly and communicative host to answer your questions.
