Definitely a no frills place to crash for the night. I stayed for a week, communication through airbnb was fine. Room is small and can be very cold. The little heater he had took an entire day to warm up the room so leave it on if you'll be gone all day. Great location and price for an affordable stay in New York. Lots of convenience stores and, restaurants and trains within walking distance. One block from central park. Would stay again.
