Joyelle is an extremely friendly and communicative host. While I never met her in person, every interaction with her was really pleasant. Her roommates are also very friendly, and were patient and accommodating with my later-than-planned arrival.

The room is cozy and the bed is really comfortable. This is a great place to stay for a few nights in the city if you're on a budget and just looking for a place to crash – while it's not in Manhattan itself, it's just a 2 minute walk from a subway stop that takes you straight to Manhattan.

The only thing that I think could be improved is the stains on the bedsheets. Also, if you're a light-sensitive sleeper, just know this room gets a lot of light in the morning. This means lots of great light throughout the day though!
