This is correctly advertised as a "private room' and not an 'entire space' on AirBnB which I really appreciated. It was a cozy little small studio apartment with all the necessary amenities (to me, that means WiFi and a microwave!) and it had its own bathroom and kitchen space (unusual for a private room). You can definitely hear the others moving around in the house, but hearing the children was soothing to me! When I had a question about anything, they got back to me in literally seconds - also a reason for a top rating by me. It's economical, private, and close to the E train which was great because I was able to zip to Manhattan pretty easily. I grew up in rural areas, and this was only my second visit to NYC - so I didn't feel comfortable walking by myself in the dark from the subway to the place - but because the LIRR also stops there, there are always taxi and Uber/Lyft options. I'd highly recommend a stay there!!
