the place is quite far from popular things to do in NYC. the nearest subway stations are Euclid and New Lots, which can take you anywhere in the city but you have to walk 20+ mins or catch the bus. I found myself catching an uber to the stations if I needed to get there more quickly. The room is small but it's fine. There is a TV, but there are rules to using it. if you're traveling in the winter, the heater is essential as it can get very cold in the room. Make sure she puts a lamp in the hallway for you because I found myself stumbling a lot in the darkness, as the light switch is up the stairs. the bathroom is decent and clean, but does not have a showerhead. also shes very strict on locking ALL four the locks on both doors and the gate, which was a bit of hassle at times when you're just trying to leave. overall, it was an okay stay but too far for my liking.
