Going to be honest, the location is fine if you have a car, but in all honesty I didn't expect 3+ room mates upstairs with an extremely loud 2nd door. The lock didn't function properly, so it was very loud to open and close.. and having people trying to open it like lunatics at 3 am. It takes 5-10 attempts. The bathroom isn't en-suite, so you have to walk through the public kitchen to get there. It wasn't impeccable either.. the shower knob needs work and there were bugs on the floor. The bed is comfy, but it's empty and bland. There aren't really shelves, so you have to dump everything on the extra bed. The street side is loud, so if you're a light sleeper, I wouldn't recommend it. Luis was great and very nice, but the info mentioned here isn't quite accurate. Price/quality doesn't balance out. I'd probably wouldn't stay here again. I know it's NYC, but still..
