My girlfriend and I stayed at the basement apartment and a wonderful experience. It's a rather small studio apartment, but it came fully equipped with all we needed. We were particularly satisfied with the kitchen and the washer and dryer, which were all very helpful, even though the laundry area was sometimes in use by other guests so we couldn't use it whenever we wanted. The location is good and quiet, and although it's far from the rest of NYC public transport is available nearby. Overall we would definitely recommend Bruce's place for travelers who prefer comfort over vicinity to attractions. I should also note that although I only saw Bruce after I checked out, he was readily available for any question and request I had, which absolutely made the experience even more pleasant
