The room was perfect, just as advertised! It was clean, big enough for one person and I could always use the kitchen and bathroom whenever I wanted to. Sarah and her family were really nice and welcoming, and I could always go to them if I had questions about anything. Sarah was really interested in me and gave me a lot of tips about things to do in the city.
The neighborhood was mostly hispanic, but the people I met were all very friendly and welcoming as well. I, as a 20-year old girl alone, have never felt unsafe while I was out and coming back to the room.
I would definitely book this room again if I was coming back to New York alone!
