Its a pretty impersonal experience- the people run this floor of an apartment entirely as airbnbs and live separately upstairs so its not personal, theres no interaction, and you get the sense this place does high volume so you are just one of many guests with high turnover ..just like a hotel. Everything is automated with the hosts as well via email and airbnb message.
You get why the room is so cheap when the itinerant cluster of people next door on the stoop and vacant lot keep you up all night.
This was the 2nd time we stayed here and the room absolutely stunk of previous guests but we couldnt open a window to air it out because of the all-night noise from people out front, and the rug was sticky 🤢. The bed however was nicely and professionally made so that was one comforting thing. This spot is $20 cheaper than most rooms in the area but honestly next time I will just spend the extra money to stay somewhere else
