Modesta's place was what it's titled; a place of comfort. It felt homey. The bed was cozy & there were more than enough pillows & linen as well as a spacious closet to hang clothes. The bathroom is right next to the room & she cleans it quite frequently. It's shared with only one other person so it's availability wasn't an issue. Guests can access the kitchen and she has kept separate plates & bowls for guests' use as well as some disposable cutleries in the room. The building has ramps & an elevator and it's something I appreciated since I had a heavy luggage. Both the neighborhood & the home was quiet. Bus stops are nearby & a subway station is close enough; it takes about half an hour to reach midtown Manhattan. A good number of restaurants & halal food carts are in the vicinity. Last but not the least, Modesta is a thoughtful & co-operative host and she always replied to my messages fairly quickly. Staying at her home was a pleasant experience.
