This is a room in a fifth-floor walkup apartment. Although the room is small, it is comfortable and close to the bathroom. There is a shared kitchen where guests can prepare meals, although we did not use it. The neighborhood is lively and full of shops and places to eat, and close to Riverside Park and the Hudson River. The apartment is convenient to the subway and the #1 line, which goes into midtown Manhattan. The host is very nice and welcoming. We would stay here again.
