This is the closest experience you will have on land to living onboard ship. The tiny room was so organized, clean, outfitted, attractive and well thought out you could well imagine yourself below decks. Except of course for the good sized window. Plenty of cubbies and shelves that allowed me to stash everything so that I was not using up any of the precious open space with stuff. I stayed here six nights and found everything quite manageable. To offset the miniature room, the apt offered full use of the common room and kitchen. I was also given a private bathroom with a wonderfully spacious walk in shower. Again, everything in excellent order, well thought out and visually appealing. The bed was very comfortable. The sleeping set up looks as if there are places for three. I can't imagine 3 people being in the room at once, except if they are all in their *bunks*. The availability of the other rooms for use makes all the difference in the world. The entire apt has been nicely furnished and appealingly decorated. There are 4 housemates in the upper rooms of the building along with a young large dog. I almost find that hard to believe. Everyone was so quiet and largely out of sight. And when I did meet up with any of them, so very polite and helpful. They all seem to be committed to hosting guests in the apt, in the best possible way. And they have the whole process completely under control. A very good experience, as staying over in someone else's home has such potential for being awkward. This is my first airbnb booking and they made it a very good one. I have some mobility issues, but I found the two flights (in total) of stairs to be manageable. And upon my arrival I was met by one of the tenants who seemed pleased to show me how easily he could whisk my luggage up the stairs for me.
The location was excellent for public transportation options. If you will be cooking, there is a wonderful fish market on the next block. Most of the immediate restaurants were fast food/take out places for the neighborhood. I do recommend the Turkish one on the corner. But this is NYC and nearly uncountable restaurants are nearby. A very good value, and I hope they will be available my next trip to NYC.
