If you're a solo traveler looking for an affordable place in NY, Lethy's place if what you need.
The room is spacious, with plenty of place to store your luggages, to hang your coats and shirts, plenty of drawers to fold your clothes in as well. A little desk so you can sit and write/read/watch something on your laptop/tablet. An A/C that does heating too, during the crazy warm/cold days of summer/winter in the city.
It's conveniently located, a couple of streets away from the A (express train), C and 1 (both local trains), which makes it easy to reach Midtown/Downtown in around 15/20 minutes.
The neighborhood is peaceful, quiet, with shops and restaurants around so you don't have to always take the subway to have dinner.
For the price and for one person, it's a very nice deal you got there.
And Lethy's mother is a really nice, helpful and sweet person who will try to help you out would you need anything.
I stayed there almost two weeks and spent most of my days walking the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn, and it was always a pleasure to come back for a good night of sleep.
