sigfus and his place are both great! very clean and accommodating, exactly as described, and EXTREMELY close to the metro (L train, which takes you straight to union square after 15-20 min ride). the room was the perfect size for 1 or 2, basics and more provided. on a busy street so can be loud at night/in the morning but as expected of new york. had no problems with the shared areas/bathroom. highly recommend!
