The room was okay.. The boiler room sounds were terrible. The ticking was down right annoying, but he provided ear plugs which I guess made it better. It was freezing cold in the room, at all times. As far as location.. It's close to the city, you can be in midtown in about 30 minutes. The train was about 3 minutes walk away which I loved. The neighborhood has a ton of asian and Mexican food, however a bit pricey. Even the bodegas up charge in this area. The guys residing there are also okay, friendly enough.. My biggest issue was that one of them kept coughing. I mean that man coughed my entire 1 month stay with complete disregard for others' well being, coughing all over the place mouth wide open and they rarely aired out the place. Thank God I never got sick in there.
