Just a bit of context, I'm a solo traveller visiting NYC for the first time and on a budget.
Sue's place was exactly as described. It is literally steps away from the subway station (Grand St -L train) which got me easily into Manhattan. It is located in a safe neighbourhood which I felt comfortable returning late at night.
The bedroom, bathroom and common area was sparkling clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and the WiFi was fast. There were fresh towels, hair dryer, iron and ironing board provided in the room. I'm a light sleeper, hence I appreciate that I do not hear any sirens/ road noise from the room itself. One thing to note is that the room is right next to the bathroom, so I could hear whenever someone else uses the shower. However, this has not disturbed my rest at night.
Checking in and out of the flat was a breeze especially since Sue was excellent in communicating the whole process. She was very kind as well to offer options in storing luggages after check out.
At the end of the day, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for comfortable room to set base at such reasonable price just adjacent to a subway station! It surpassed my expectations, so 5 out of 5 star for me.
