There was great communication from Junior, and he ensured that our stay was one that was positive.
The room and building were very secure, and the bed and sheets were very clean (you could tell that they had just been washed).
It was a good value and close to the subway, which made our trips to Manhattan easy and affordable.
You share the washrooms with other guests, so, sometimes, the showers could be messy (but that's not the fault of the owner). Nonetheless, they were promptly cleaned, and I appreciated that.
Expect there to be some noise from the outside. It's New York, so there's not much that can be done there.
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I would recommend staying here if you're looking for an affordable place that's clean, secure, and close to transit.
