If you are accustomed to traveling internationally beyond western Europe, or are just a little adventurous, this place is a very economical choice for a bed to sleep in and a bathroom. It is small, and the room doesn’t have any good natural lighting, but if you are in NYC to see the city and not hang out in your room, you can’t beat this for location and ease of access to Manhattan. Hosts were very laid-back and accommodated our very late arrival. They also communicated very well.
