The place is recommendable and exactly as described. It’s reasonably clean and very organized. The quiet hours are also within reason, so you can still get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but not wash dishes!!!
This place is very quiet, and you hardly notice that this is a big city.
The ladder is very steep, but secure and not very high so even I had no trouble getting up there. At any rate, if you can’t do the ladder, the sofa below can also be converted into a bed.
It’s spacious enough for two people.
The up top part has new carpeting, and is very clean.
The bed is firm and the sheets clean, nice and soft.
The upper space is just high enough to stand up in, the lower is higher.
There is access to a fridge in the open air kitchen, one room even seems to have a small one in the room. There’s an iron and ironing board in the closet of your room, which I only noticed on leaving because I never needed one.
There are guide books on NYC and a subway map on the wall.
Michael is personable and chatty, your contact person in any case. Both young men are nice and manage the rooms very efficiently between themselves.
The location is also good, 10-15 minutes to Manhattan by train, between Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery — a good walk, near enough to the Brooklyn Museum and the Botanic Gardens. Michael can tell you how to find all the free days to visit the sights.
