I read the reviews about both rooms and had chose to stay in the “walk-in closet” sized room because in all actuality, I only needed a place to keep my stuff while I was out all day and then have a place to sleep when I did decide to retire.
I will say it was a super positive experience. The first evening I checked in, I went out to grab something to eat (Michelle suggested a few local places just around the corner) and bring back to eat. I ended up meeting Andres (the roommate) and the other Airbnb renter. We had a great conversation in the living room.
It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the 7 subway and there are tons of stores nearby and by the subway station.
Thank you Bryan, Michelle and Andres for all your hospitality, I will be sure to come back when I return to The Big Apple! 🍎
