I had an excellent experience in the little guesthouse - Linda is incredibly hospitable and provides everything you'd need. I arrived in New York very early in the morning from a red-eye flight, and she was able to accommodate with an early check in so I can get some rest before hitting the city. She went above and beyond during check in, showing me around and getting me setup at 6am, since my flight had actually landed earlier than expected! The room is exactly as pictured - her cats are charming and will often pay a visit to the room as well. Room and common areas are clean and well maintained -- there's even music in the bathroom, which is an awesome touch! Although the room is technically the front porch, it doesn't feel any different, and the portable space heater that's provided gets the room toasty warm in the winter in no time. The premises felt secure with ample security camera monitoring, so I felt safe even though the room didn't have a lock on it's own. Wifi was blazing fast as well with strong signal.
