Overall this place was a great find for us, we stayed in the third room which had private bathroom. That’s great if you don’t really like sharing or waiting on a line to shower and use the toilet. That was one of our highlines really because it’s not easy to find good location-clean-safe place in NY plus private bathroom for a good price. The place is completely clean and Arlene was really fast answering all questions. She’s a good host and keeps her place how she wants, but I have to say we felt a little bit supervised by her, although we did everything she said: clean dishes, keep shoes on the entrance, kitchen lights on, etc etc etc, there were quite some rules! I know its fair but we enjoy a little bit of privacy. The first morning we cooked breakfast, we ate scrambled eggs and yogurt. Everything clean afterwards but while walking around NY I received a message from Arlene saying: “If you fried eggs this morning you will have to boil them”. Besides that, we had a really good time in New York.
