The place is great and the hosts were very thoughtful. There are free snacks, fruits, eggs, water, everything you need. You could tell the host takes great pride in their place. The stairs is a little steep if you had big suitcases like we did. Check-in was easy. It gets a pretty noisy at night because it was in a busy street but the host provided ear plugs for that purpose. On our first night, the people in 2R came home at almost midnight and were stomping on the stairs and were yelling and screaming all night that ended at 8a. We were too scared to complain. We chose this place because of its proximity to JFK but the area is a little sketchy. We did not feel safe until we were inside the black metal door and the main door locked behind us. If it was in a nicer area, this place would be so much better. We only used the place to keep our stuff and to sleep so it was enough for what we need it for.
