I was visiting NYC to see some shows and the listing was convenient to that locale...even, as it turned out...when slogging through the big snowstorm was necessary. So location was primary.
The room is on the 5th floor of an apartment building right off Delancey St. I met Anja the first evening and then never saw her again for the duration. She was friendly and welcoming, and provided a list of local places for coffee and restaurants.
I pretty much knew where I was going and have lived in the city before, so did not need much in the way of directions, etc.
The room was overlooking the street...comfortable bed, closet and dresser....what more did I need ?, as I was out and about most of the time.
All in all, the room met my needs perfectly.
