i agree with other reviewers in that the location is superb and the host is nice (total privacy is guaranteed), but i would not recommend this room if you're sensitive to noises (i felt as if i was sleeping in the center of the 8th avenue) and smell of smoking like myself. Especially, i barely slept due to the noises (construction, buses, fights of drunken men and women all night) ... i think that it might be because of the way air conditioner is attached to the window.
