Joe was a thoughtful, communicative host. I booked last minute and everything was perfectly ready when I arrived. I was simply looking for a good night's sleep in a cool location that I could explore the next day. I LOVED the location.
I am a female professional in my mid-thirties. For me this is a fine, affordable, simple place to stay in for a night or two. If I was in my twenties and traveling it would be the type of place I'd be happy to stay in for a longer visit.
Noteworthy:
5 flights of stairs. I couldn't have done it if my bag were heavier.
I stayed on a weeknight, noise was not an issue at all.
A few minute walk from subway.
Joe was nice and accommodating, let me leave my bag a bit longer than the check-out time. I've had other hosts in NY not allow this.
Once inside the apartment you'll see a spiral staircase leading to the private, small roof deck- nice perk.
