This place is exactly as they described it. Small but welcoming. Everything you need. Great location within an easy commute of most attractions in the Chelsea area. Great for those taking Megabus or Amtrak. It's essentially a cross between a hotel (locking private room) and a hostel (communal dining and bathrooms). For me the shared space was great. The place was a bit noisy, but they gave me earbuds that allowed me to sleep soundly through the night! For less than $150/night you can't beat it. And for me, the communal aspect as well as their focus on helping others was very important. Highly recommended!
