Brad was not actually there for our stay but the building manager was. He was happy to help us with any needs/questions we had etc. The accommodation is a hostel-type set up with many rooms (about 6 or 7 I think) in the building with shared use of the kitchens and bathrooms. Our room was very large which was great to come back to at the end of the day exploring Manhattan. The neighborhood doesn't feel very safe so it was a rather brisk walk to the subway station which is only a few blocks away. We definitely didn't like being out after dark. All in all the actually accommodation is fine, the room was clean and large, and we were glad to have somewhere to come back to at the end of the day. We probably wouldn't stay in the same area in the future though.
