Takanori's place feels more like you're renting an entire apartment and not just a private bedroom. It's great!! The location is great too for local delis, vendors, and bus stops. Plus, there's a laundromat right downstairs so if you're staying for a bit you can quickly take care of laundry. There's no AC in the room (maybe because it's too early), but you can open both windows and hear NYC going through it's day which is beautiful.
