I booked so that I could stay near the US Open Tennis. This was absolutely perfect and an easy 15 min walk (10 if you walk fast) to the Billie Jean King Tennis centre across Corona Park just round the corner. My room had shared bathroom (some have private) but I knew beforehand and this was not a problem in practice. The other guests that I met were all friendly and welcoming across all ages from 20 to 70 (I was nearer the latter). There was not a lot of shared time, just the odd chat in the kitchen making a tea but pleasant company. For my stay I think every one had gone for the tennis so a lot of shared interest.
I never actually met Cindy but she was incredibly responsive to any questions or requests through the app, often within minutes. Toiletries were replenished regularly, and on the one time they got low I contacted her and it was dealt with within the hour.
The WiFi was excellent and the best I have ever had in hotels or AirBnB's.
If I had to be picky it is also about 15 mins walk to anything else like food shops, restaurants etc but this was not a problem.
Uber drivers all found the place within minutes of request and if you take the trouble to crack the Metro system and MTA Metro card options you can pick up a bus close by, transfer to the 7 train, and be in Times Square in just over an hour - it's worth researching the options. I came from UK and did not have a car so cannot speak about parking.
If I went to the tennis again I would certainly look at this place again.
