The room is as advertised. Just as you can see in the picture, it is quite minimalist, but it is spacious and all the essentials are there. The private bathroom is a big plus if you're a private person like me. The place is conveniently located, about a ten-minute walk to the subway station as well as stores, a supermarket, a Rite Aid, a Starbucks, several eateries, and various street vendors. I often came back late but felt quite safe walking back at night. Check-in and check-out was easy and hassle-free. My only complaint is that during my first night there I could hear very loud footsteps coming from the room right above me, for a good forty minutes, and someone seemed to be dragging things around. I let Martin know and he responded quickly. The following nights I could still hear footsteps, but the sound lasted for a much shorter time and didn't bother me anymore. All in all, it was a good experience and I'd recommend the room for anyone who's there to explore NY and just needs a place to use as a base.
