The room was located in a loft apartment of a local New Yorker, Guy. The apartment is located in a hip neighborhood near the theater district with great restaurants and coffee including "Madmen coffee" right across the street. The room itself is large and airy and clean. It has great light and all the comforts of home including a very comfortable bed. You share a bathroom with the host but it wasn't a problem as it was clean and always vacant when I needed it. The apartment has a cat that can be kept out of the room but if you are allergic I would stay elsewhere. For myself I loved having her around as she was a sweetie that loved to greet me and keep me company. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
