Absolutely loved this place and would definitely come back if staying in New York again. It's super cozy and looks exactly like the pictures. We checked in with no problems; didn't see Brady because he was out of town or even see anyone else staying there, which was totally fine for a couple of introverts. Bedhaus is naturally welcoming!
When we left in the morning we almost walked into a crime scene because there had been a shooting on the next block overnight, so maybe not 100% a welcoming area--but would still stay here again.
