Sophie met me in person for check-in. She was very friendly and helpful. The room was as advertised, bed was very comfortable, linen was very soft. I got a welcome plate of snacks in the room and a bag of drinks in the fridge.

You have your own bedroom and balcony but the floor is shared with 3 other AirBnB guests. They are long term guests thats studying and they mostly kept to themselves.

You do have a fully equipped kitchen with stoves and fridges if you like to cook, or you can walk a few blocks to the 86th street - the main 'strip' with lots of restaurants and takeaways.

Sophie will leave you alone so you can do your own things at your own pace, but she is always an AirBnB message away if you have any questions. (She responded to my non-urgent message at 2am!!)

If you have any doubts about making a booking here - don't. You'll love it.
