It's hard to beat the price, and Ezra and his roommates are very nice and friendly, so in that respect it's a good deal. Unfortunately, the area is extremely loud and it was very hard to get a single night sleep without getting woken up multiple times by people screaming at each other right outside the windows, trucks and bottle collectors banging about, or people playing loud music, and we are used to Manhattan, and wore earplugs, so that made the experience a bit tough for us, but not the hosts fault. Public transportation is close but the train ride is long, but possible. The bed was clean with fresh sheets but the room had a layer of dust on all other surfaces. That having been said, you can't beat the price and the hosts are nice, so it's worth a try.
