Alison was very cooperative and made an early check-in possible. Her very friendly friend gave us the key and explained everything to us.
The room was really small but fine during our 3 night stay. The AC was working well, and was necessary due to the heat outside.
The towels were smelling a bit weird :/
We hated the noise though. We knew it would be louder cause lets be honest its New York, but the Subway drives past the apartment like every 10 minutes and the noise left us barely sleeping at all.
We only used the room and the bathroom, so we cant say anything about the kitchen. Never saw Alison either, meaning we never got in the way for her bathroom schedule etc.

"Safe" neighborhood, we wouldnt call it that... but with the M subway liturally 2 minutes walking distance, you get to Manhatten in no time.

All in all it was okai, not as good as we hoped it would be but more than good for the small amount of money we paid. and since you should be out a lot exploring new york, you dont spend a lot of time there anyway.
