Great people run this home. At times it may be all guests and no-host present, but the check-in and stop in periodically. Beautiful room, friendly vibe. Street noise is entirely random and at some points a little invasive. Sometimes it is filled with wailing church choir vocals, the boom box from the stoop next door, or people arguing—very NY. That room faces the street so expect to hear it—excellent and fast communication. The bed was very comfortable, and I love the shower :) I felt right at home instantly. It is a nice relaxing place to stay.
