I booked this airbnb because I wanted an authentic New York experience, and this was a perfect place for that. This is a small, sunny room with a twin bed in a home that's lived in by Lola and is full of Lola's personality. Lola cooks and works here, and is very friendly- she's been in the neighborhood a long time and knows spots to eat and things to do in her area, so I recommend booking this room with the understanding that you'll be regularly interacting with your host and drinking in her expertise.

It's not on top of the hippest nightlife, it's sort of a respite from that- there are places to eat just around the corner (I especially recommend Gramercy Tavern), multiple cool neighborhoods are a 15 minute or less walk away, and the location felt SAFE to walk home to even after midnight, especially coming from the west! The subway is a few blocks away in several directions, and is convenient to almost all of Manhattan and even the L to Brooklyn.
The room has enough floor space to accommodate a large open suitcase at the foot of the bed, and also has a full sized mirror.

The bathroom fixtures and storage areas are small the way most new york apartments' are, keep in mind that the tub is about gym-shower sized. The building is heated centrally, and the shower water pressure is a little low (also centrally controlled) but gets plenty hot (even in winter) and the toilet works very well. I also really appreciated having access to a Brita filter!
