Just a private room with a nice window, AC, a fan and 2 single beds. Shared bathroom but nothing negative about that. Comes with plenty of towels for a low-maintenance person: If you're used to a hotel replacing them whenever you want, this probably isn't the place for you.
Nothing fancy about it, but that's not what you want when you go to New York (because those type of places are fantastically expensive). You just want a decent clean place to lay your head in a decent neighborhood, and that's what this place is.
Neighborhood is upper Harlem near Sugar Hill. No noise to speak of at night but if you need it silent just turn on the fan and that will drown out anything you can't handle. Room does not face the street and isn't next to the street so that's a plus.
Short walk to the subway (4 subway lines! 3 on the weekend. 2 during late night) but it's rather uphill. (Given the amount of walking that NYC requires, if you can't handle this hill then you'll have a hard time on the rest of your trip.)
Plenty of good food nearby.
I recommend Thrillist [dot] com for restaurant reccomendations down in the main parts of the city.
