This was a great choice for my visit to Brooklyn where my daughter lives. There was enough room so she could stay over occasionally with me, having two beds. It is a basement apartment which has been made as light filled and cozy as it could possibly be by very artistic touches made by the owners (such as light behind the headboards creating a lovely glow). I enjoyed the fact that there was a code number instead of a key, very convenient. It was also nice that that allowed me to self-check in. The small hallway outside the main room made it feel more spacious than just one room, and the coffee making equipment area with menus for local spots was nicely done. It would not be the best for someone who would prefer a slick generic motel situation, as it has a few quirky details that come from being created out of an old basement, but for me, those things were fine because it has been so thoughtfully decorated to be welcoming and pleasant to be in. There is sound from above and from outside, but that did not get in the way of our enjoying the stay; that's true in many spots in New York. Very steep stairway down to the entrance; if mobility is a problem that could matter. Having a private entrance and being able to come and go without disturbing anyone was so very much nicer than worrying about having to interrupt people's home lives to get to the space. It was just what I needed!
