The room was fantastic. Comfy and clean with plenty of space to enjoy the temporary home away from home. There was even a clothes rack with hangers if I needed it. It was a nice surprise to see a room be a bit better than it looked in pictures for once.
While I did share the bathroom with another guest across the hall for part of it, I never ran into any conflicts. The shower is a fantastic waterfall style, with optional side jets you can turn on. It does take a bit of fidgeting with but once you figure it out it’s quick to warm up.
In what is a very busy city the room was very quiet. We did reach some warmer day temps while I was there but an open window helped cool down the room. I spotted some window air conditioners I suspect are in use in the summer.
It was great to chat with Laura when we crossed paths, with her years of experience in the city. Her dog, Ash, may bark at first but he seemed very quick to warm up to you once you were inside. I wish I actually took the time to try out the kitchen, as it looks like a cool stove to work with but maybe another time
The subway was a quick walk and about 40 minutes to most of the Manhattan destinations, but definitely be sure to check local transit notifications for reroutes. Definitely had to catch a further stop on the weekend because of maintenance but this seems to only be a couple months of the year (blame Metro on this one). Still was a quick walk either way.
Overall it was a great visit, I’d definitely look for her rooms next time I’m in town.
