What you see is exactly what you get- you are literally renting out a private room. The queen bed took up 90% of the room and the bathroom/rest of the living space is shared. Elle was dog sitting 3 dogs during our stay and the next people for the airbnb arrived early, which made things a little more crammed than I would have liked. That being said, it is NYC, so maybe this is normal. Overall, Elle was a great host and I'd say if you are on the fence to just go for it. It will be an experience but location is amazing and you won't be spending too much time in your apartment anyway.
