The perfect place to explore New York on a budget! The room itself is small - you'll get to feel like Harry Potter, sleeping in the cupboard under the stairs - but there's a large kitchen and a common area that is ideal (and climate controlled) for studying, working from home, or hanging out. The apartment was clean and well-organized, with low-key and quiet roommates. The neighborhood itself isn't exactly a hangout spot (residential; far from bars, restaurants, parks, etc.), but the C train is close and there's a bus stop a block from the apartment (and the bus runs all night). Laundry, groceries, and bodegas are walking distance. If you want to break away from the tourists, save money on rent (so you have more for fun!), and experience New York like a New Yorker, this place is perfect for you.
