The communication in terms of check in and check out was excellent. The only thing that i had not understood clearly was that there were 2 other rooms being rented out as well, so I was sharing space w/strangers, with only 1 bathroom. I guess i thought Sophia /Leah lived there and i was sharing the space with them in their home. I was in town for a conference, and the location and price were good, so that part was fine. I was startled that some guys set up a repair shop for mopeds in the hallway entrance. I first became aware of that when i walked out one evening and this guy was singing loudly and offkey in the hall…. I didn’t understand what was going on, and called Sophia, she assured me they were harmless, and indeed i had no problems with them, it just took me by surprise. The place was quiet which was good for sleeping. There is a kitchen for cooking, altho missed not having any coffee mugs. Overall it worked, but its NYC funky, so good to be mindful of that.
