I arrived after midnight which wasn't ideal but they were nice enough to accommodate me anyway which was very helpful. The room is pretty much what I expected, quite a bit of noise from the street outside but that's to be expected. I was somewhat confused about who actually lived there since Paulette was out of town when I arrived so the communication was a bit choppy. But everybody was very nice and made me feel welcome.
The location is OK. The subway station is 15ish minutes away and including the ride to downtown Manhattan it usually takes 45-60 min to get there. The resident cat is scruffy and really cute.
