this house is a tiny perfect place to stay as a home base to explore the LES, Manhattan and Brooklyn. light sleepers wanting to sleep in may want to bring a sleep mask as the skylight is right above the bed, but you dont want to waste time in NYC sleeping. the house is quiet and warm, (the heater works well) with no noise from bars next door, but large people or elderly might have trouble getting up and down the ladder to the bed. for a single person or couple, there's no better value. will definitely return.
