The place is clean, the bedroom is spacious enough to dispose of your luggage with the strict minimum of equipment (bed, nighstand and a chair) and the location is good : at 5min from the subway wich is at 20min from Time Square, we didn’t ask for more. I would just suggest to put a plank of wood on the bedhead to avoid the building opposite to have a view on your room like they have now.
Sarah is a joyful person and it’s visible that she wants you to enjoy your stay, but you have to follow the rules, so many rules. In fact, they are not really constraining at least for someone who just wants a place to sleep (which was our case), but when you receive a message at 2am to remind you to put down the toilet seat, or, more serious, when you wait 30min outside in the rain because « the check-in was at 12, not 11:30 » while she was at home, it put some stress on your nerves. We understand that she might not have been ready, but we were here in advance, not by choice, but because of the rain, she could have proposed to wait in the hall for example.
I’m not saying that Sarah isn’t a good host, she is kind and you quickly understand that she wants you to have a great stay, but she forgets that for most, you are in a city you don’t know and even if you want to be faultless, you won’t always be.
In short I would recommend this place, but remember that you’re an extra and must not be noisy.
