Cem is an artist at heart, he can let you free no questions asked; he is also very enjoyable when having a conversation, from local tips to movies, art and life.
The space is no frills, with high ceilings and some nice decor details around. The bedroom is big, with a lot of space for luggage, hangers.
The Area is lively, has great transportation connections.
Overall good experience and value, recommended for budget travelers, who still want all the convenience in a 1,2 blocks radio.. like a true New Yorker!
