The listing by Faigie was very descriptive and accurate. We were pleasantly surprised by how large the room was once we got there. It's a studio size room with a kitchenette area and a TV. The restroom is a tad small for someone my size (6'2) but overall did not seem like an issue. The one thing I would warn further occupants is of the sound from above. You hear most, if not all, of the footsteps and movement from the first floor of the house (the studio is in the basement). Luckily, our group was full of heavy sleepers and it didn't really bother us, but it may be an issue for others in the future.

But yes, overall, the experience was great. Faigie, her husband, and their little dog were very, very nice and accommodating. They provided soap, towels, coffee, an AC Unit in the room (!), better than advertised cable TV, and a safe neighborhood to stay in.

The travel from midtown Manhattan to their listing is about 45 min - 1 hour via subway so it's not super close, but it is a nice, enjoyable ride. As in any city I would avoid rush hour transit times, but even then it was an hour tops to midtown. From the Lower East Side we took an Uber one night back to the listing and it was around $50 so the subway is obviously the way to go unless you are in a rush. Going the other way (east) is Coney Island. It's about 15 minutes away and while we didn't have time to stop by that is a close option if the weather is too hot for the subway/sightseeing.
