I had an incredible stay. The host and her family were very welcoming. Me and my friend arrived on Thanksgiving and they invited us to eat with them and hangout. It was very nice, both of us being Latino we felt right at home. The room is really nice and the building is beautiful. There were some inconveniences that come with having to share the bathroom and that the neighbors and even the host/their family can get pretty loud but I personally didn't mind that much and considering the price, it was totally worth it. It's pretty close to the subway and there's a lot of cheap food places around. Me and my friend especially liked Kennedy's chicken sandwiches that is 5 minutes away and on the way to the subway. I would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend maybe not to my mom (given the 5 flights of stairs and the loud environment) but definitely to my friends and other broke college students.
