Good place to explore Manhattan, Brooklyn and Coney Island from (everything is up to 40 min via subway), but if you want to visit Queens or Bronx it's not so convenient.
We didn't figured out how to close window, but that night we decided not to wake up hoster with a question and our next meeting was only at checking-out
By the way hoster is ready to help and fix any of problem with the room.
Extra features: water/juices/snackbars/pastry (at morning) and curious sweet cat.
