When the listing description says it’s close to subway station, it means it literally. The N/W above-ground station and elevated tracks is only several feet from the bedroom window. The train frequently passes through in both direction and are LOUD. While the host provides earplugs, they aren’t enough to really eliminate the noise. If the host has rented out all the bedrooms, he stays in the living room and makes loud calls in the early morning, which is pretty annoying. On the other hand, the proximity to the station makes getting to Manhattan really easy. The host also provides you with basic amenities such as drinking water, showering supplies etc. The bed is comfortable to sleep in.
