The listing description was semi-accurate. I ended up staying in a different room than the one listed, but the new room was as nice as the one listed. Unfortunately the room wasn't as private as I was hoping and there was a bit of a mouse problem near the end of my stay. The Wi-Fi doesn't work very well in the bedrooms (the living room, etc isn't really a shared area), so if you're a student or work online there could be a problem. The neighborhood (Hunts Point, I think) seemed friendly, but I'm not too sure how safe it is.
