I booked the room a day before New Year's Eve and was lucky to find such a good location. The room is very small and works for one person, it is very basic and no desk etc. The room and house was super clean and the bedding was warm and an extra oil heater provided, so that was great! There are great restaurants, cafe's , bookstores round the corner. It's close to subways with lots of trains to chose from, and close to Manhattan to take a cheap uber pool. It's a good stay if you only need a place to sleep. The only issue I had was the bathroom, it has privacy issues and you have to pull a curtain to have privacy from a door to another bedroom that could leads into the bathroom. This should have been stated in the ad. I didn't have any being caught naked moments or on the toilet, but it's important to know. It's a two-floor walk up, so be aware if you heavy luggage. It's a family home and the brief encounters I had with the various family members was warm and polite. Good communication with the host.
