Lauryn was the nicest host ever, she made a pot of coffee for me every morning, offered laundry services in the building, and was open to odd check-in and check-out hours. The living room and bedroom are private and the space is beautiful, with lots of plants. The air conditioning in the bedroom was a godsend in NYC humidity. It's a great affordable space for 1-2 people. The building is a little old but it doesn't really affect your stay that much.
