I had the opportunity to stay at this location when I was visiting Manhattan for work & leisure. It's located in the heart of Alphabet City and is close to a city park as well as a lot of good restaurants and coffee shops in the area.
Kim was very communicative ~24 hours before check-in to discuss check-in details and what to expect when arriving. My check-in was smooth and I was able to quickly settle in. The room and private bathroom were clean and the bedroom had all I needed for my stay - bed, desk & chair, and strong Internet access. (oh and a TV, but I never turned it on) There is also a container of earplugs in case the street noise gets to you, which is a nice touch. :)
Just note that the location is up two flights of steep stairs, and there is no elevator. In any case I would recommend and would stay again the next time I am in the area.
