I went to NYC with my girlfriend and staying at Helga's was a good choice. The room is exactly as shown in the photos, for the price the quality is great, it's perfect for 1 or 2 persons, it's like 4 blocks away from the subway, many supermarkets and fast food are nearby and even when the neighborhood isn't the nicest, it's pretty quiet. Helga was really nice. We would totally rent the room again.
