For value and location in NYC, this place is off the charts. Ozzy is a wonderful host, quick to respond to my every request. I was in the city to work, and this place more than met my needs.
Now the downsides. The building security isn't great, there's no lock on the door, and folks do come and go at odd hours... as such, I would NOT recommend for women traveling alone. The immediate neighborhood is a mini-food desert, though it's NYC so one is never terribly far from what's needed. Lastly, the room is clearly not lived in by anyone full-time, and had really no amenities at the ready... I had to ask for clothes hangers, a light to read by (besides the overhead), towels, and so on. The shower had no soap or shampoo in it. However, Ozzy, responded quickly to my every request right away, and was especially generous in sharing his delicious cooking!
Strongly recommend for those with needs that were close to mine. I'd absolutely stay here again, but if my wife were with me, or if I were traveling for pleasure, I'd likely spend more for a homier location. Again, incredible value, location, and hosting courtesy.
