Doug is an excellent host and all of the previous reviews are pretty spot on. It's not a big place but as a simple solo traveler, it was everything that I needed. You will climb several flights of stairs if you stay here! Plenty of good food options in the area. Nearest subway station is about 5 minutes away to the west (with a couple of nice breakfast stands along the way) and another about 10 minutes to the south. Outside noise wasn't an issue, even on a Saturday night. Doug was very quick to respond to all of my questions. The house rules are very fair. If your primary goal is lodging in an accessible location, you will enjoy staying here!
