As everyone says Nia is a great host and easy to communicate with. Checkin was smooth and the room was big and clean. That been said I honestly have no idea why anyone would give a 5-star puntuation. The level of noisy caused by a combination of the trains arriving and the lack of isolation in the room make it impossible to have an ok sleep. And I'm no light sleeper, trust me. Also shared bathroom and kitchen are located on the first floor inside a separate apt. Don't get me wrong, this listing is still helpful for 2 reasons: price and location. You get to be close to 5 metro lines that take you both to Manhattan and to Brooklyn. But please avoid as much as you can stretch your budget by.
