We arrived earlier than our check in time and Kim let us park our car at her drive way as well as informed us we can check in at around 12 pm rather than 3 pm. It was nice to feel comfortable and have enough privacy even if it is posted that bathroom is shared. We were busy and coming in late nights so we only had personal interaction during our first day and last day, briefly. The value for the room is great and reasonable, and she prep some necessities like soap, toothbrush/toothpaste, and a complementary bottle of water and sweets. The room has Clean bed with tv and good space to keep your stuff. One thing I would advice for future guest is if you decide to bring in food do not leave it on the floor or sitting out or better yet do not have food in your room at all. The location is about an hour and 15 mins away to main manhattan island and there were times it was longer for us to commute especially going home due to lesser transportation option so be prepared or plan your trip from and to Kims place so you avoid those downsides. It didn’t bother us as we feel safe in the neighbourhood anyway during those very late night commute home. Overall I recommend her place for good value stay in your New York Trip.
