Incredible location, half a block from the 1 line and half a block from the Hudson River and a nice park. It was very convenient to tour NYC via the metro. I was able to get groceries and necessities from around the metro station as well. The host Lupi was very nice when she helped us check in. The kitchen was on the smaller side but well equipped: filtered water tap, nice spice rack, etc. Bathroom was decent and clean. The bedroom decorations were very artistic, just as appears in the pictures. The neighborhood feels safe enough but it’s not a high income neighborhood.
The room doesn’t have any installed AC. For me it was enough to keep the window open, but the room might get hot in the summer. The door is lockable but doesn’t have a doorknob, so to close the door you need to lock it. In most cases this isn’t an issue.
Overall, incredible value. If you don’t mind the surrounding neighborhood as much, the apartment itself is pleasant and convenient. The public transit and room features would have been enough, but Lupi made the room aesthetically nice too. I would definitely try to stay here again on my next visit.
