The place is exactly as described. Small, cozy on a quiet street. If you are looking for something basic with the necessities this is a great value, especially compared to some places in Manhattan. The train stop is a short walk away, there are also Deli's/grocery stores nearby for any quick needs. Desmar was very friendly and responsive. The check in process is easy as is the check out process.
He was flexible with check in/check out time as much as he could be which was great.
