Paula was a pretty good host. The place was very clean and the room was as described. Lots of obvious honking with that city traffic, but that’s the true city life experience haha. There’s a shared bathroom for the others, which wasn’t an issue at any time. It was a good distance from Times Square! The only thing was her peers being over and being very chatty at a high volume at night once it was time for my friend and I to get settled in for the night. Overall, this is a pretty decent place to stay for your NYC trip.
