Staying here felt like I was living with roomates I've known for years. If it's you're first time in NYC, this the perfect location to get a taste of everything ( bars, public transit, food/restaurants, etc ). This place had a lot of cute quirks that made it very unique. My favorite being, the stripper pole. Layla hosted the majority of my stay and she was helpful and thoughtful. Monkey( the cat ), also made the stay feel very home like. If you are a single traveler, book this room. No regrets over here ;)
