Karl & Catherine were awesome hosts. Friendly and responsive.
I was a flight attendant for more than a decade and stayed at many hotels, so I thought it would be useful to provide a checklist of things.
- the room and bathroom were very clean
- the temperature was comfortable and the host checked that we found it so.
- the set up and amenities provided were considerate and more than adequate
- the location was perfect for us. You just had to walk across the street to get to the train station. There's lots of choices for food within a one block radius, from thai to peruvian to vietnamese, indian and chinese, and a 24/7 diner directly across the street that serves breakfast all day and is well known for excellent food.
- although the train station is very near, the noise level was low in the room, we slept comfortably. In NYC, I've stayed many times at the major well known hotels in Manhattan and the noise levels here were actually lower.
- bedding and pillows were more than adequate.
- there's a Keyfoods just 2 blocks away, and a small refridgerator, microwave, kettle, french press and toaster in your room, so a basic breakfast in your room with lots of tea or coffee as you like it is an easy option
- we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay
I'm happy to recommend Karl & Catherine's place!
