Location: Great location, close to the subway (~7 min walk) which brings you directly to all you want to see/visit. It takes you less than half an hour to get to Manhattan. The neighborhood is safe and nice, nearby supermarkets.
Room: The room is good, clean but a little old. You can see all of this in the photos so no surprises. The temperature was nice even though it was cold out. The building is a also old so we could hear people arguing downstairs very clearly at times.
(Shared) Kitchen/bathroom: Both are clean and are useful for your stay. Nothing spectacular here, bare necessities.
Host (James): he is great! Very active in checking how we were doing and very helpful. This gave me a very good feeling about him and the place. We could leave our bags after check-out which was nice since we had a late flight.
