Pros:
1. Host and her family are really nice people
2. Good value, cheap compared to other places in NYC
3. Bed was comfy and room was clean upon arrival
4. Quite a few restaurants within the walking distance.
Cons:
1. Parking is almost impossible to find!!! Several days I spent more than an hour circling around. This also limited what I was able to do in the afternoons because it is impossible to find parking after 6pm. So, I did not go anywhere. It was very frustrating!
2. There are no amenities really. You have a room and a small bathroom and that is that. No TV, no kitchen access as far as I know, no iron (maybe there was one available but I never asked), small, very small bathroom. Room is in the basement so no natural light either.
3. Very little privacy, unless you lock yourself up in the room, which I did for the most part.
