The room was as described. The host was extremely helpful and nice, even when I woke him up early to assist with calling transportation to the airport. For that, I am extremely grateful to him. However, the host entertained multiple friends (3-7 at varying times) during the stay and caused me to request they be quiet so I could sleep. The purpose of my stay was to overnight in NYC from my residence in Albany, NY before catching an early flight to South Africa. Hence, I was not going to NYC to visit the city, just stopping over for needed sleep. I did not think to ask if the host would entertain friends in the kitchen adjacent to the room I leased. I should have done that. As it was, I had to use my noise-cancelling headphones until about 11pm when the party moved to another room further from the leased bedroom. And...who likes to ask people to be quiet and feel like you're interfering with their get-together.
