Basically a whole apartment for a really great price, and about five blocks from a huge subway hub, surrounded by great (mostly Mexican) food joints and trucks. Since you have your own kitchen and bathroom in your own floor (the attic), with a door you can lock, it's pretty much a whole apartment. Only place you could run into someone would be the stairs, but that's not too different from any other building. Place is bigger and nicer than it looks in the pictures and Hector seemed like a nice guy, though not the best at communicating. Only downside are the stairs. They're so incredibly steep that it might just be two flights up, but it feels like four. So, if you're carrying a lot of luggage or have any kind of mobility problem, I would seriously take that into account. Apart from that, it's a great find!
