Listing photos of room were very accurate. Discoveries upon arrival: There was a (inaccessible?) deck off the room, with tall leafy trees in view! Common area smaller than expected, and windowless. Bathroom larger than most, esp. in NYC. Shower hot and good pressure. Actual counter in bathroom to put your stuff! AC window unit in room works well (was even chilly, but loved it bc it was a very HOT week in the city); also effectively drowns out noise. I never heard street noise--only a bit of bass through the walls Sat night. Lots of great (albeit expensive) food options within a block or two radius: boba tea and smoothies; bagels; brunch at the Edison or Blue Dog; authentic Chinese (in the basement of apt bldg, and open til 1 a.m.). Perfect location for those who want to hit Broadway shows; have $ to burn; and can tolerate throngs of tourists. Even though pricey, it fit my needs, too, as a solo traveller needing to stay in Midtown. It was quiet; clean enough; uncluttered; seemed safe (though, be aware your room may only lock from the inside and not from the outside); and the hosts were generally accessible. Also is within 4 blocks of multiple subway lines. Oh! And there was a working mini-fridge in my very roomy closet! Towel was beefy and clean. Mattress (firm foam type) was very uncomfortable for me and might be short for tall folk. The kitchen seemed adequate for basic food prep and eating in. Accessibility note: there are only stairs up to the building front door, and then two flights up to the apt.
