***All in all, the accommodation was as advertised... I'm glad I chose this place for my stay, as the combination of location, price, people and comfort worked out excellently and made my stay in NYC enjoyable :) ***
The room is suitable for a single person, and great value for what you pay for! It was very clean and comfortable and had decent wifi and an AC/fan. Although the door doesn't have a lock, you can be assured of security and privacy. I was provided with my own keys for the apartment, and I could come and go as I please, which was great!!

Hugo, his brother Corey and their mother Margherita were lovely hosts! They would go about their daily work, but very helpful and approachable in person or over phone, when needed.

The neighborhood was okay; as it goes to say anywhere in NYC you are as safe as the common sense you exercise! The Line 1 metro station was a mere 5 min walk away which was awesome; I could get to anywhere in Manhattan pretty quickly and conveniently. I would usually be back from sightseeing between 9.00-10.30 pm and never faced any problems walking home.

There is also a diner (Bus stop diner) 2 min away from the residence - the food and prices were good, so breakfast was something I looked forward to everyday :)

Highly recommend it, if you are looking for some place basic, clean, safe, accessible and easy on the wallet.
