The room itself is great for the price...a clean and safe room in a great location in Astoria for $55/night. It's within a few mins walk to the subway and great restaurants. I even found a great vegan restaurant, which was an unexpected plus! The room is clean, as are the other living areas. However, guests should note that you will be sharing a kitchen, bathroom and sitting area with 3 other rooms. Our room was allowed to have 2 guests, so I assume the others are too...which brings the total up to 8 guests sharing a space. I was not aware of this prior to booking, otherwise I would not have booked because I do not feel comfortable sharing space with that many strangers during the COVID pandemic. There was no description of the room listed, so I asked if I would be sharing with anyone, and was told I would be sharing with "someone", so I took that to mean one person. Karen was definitely great about being quick to respond to any questions I had, and if you don't mind sharing space with multiple people, then I think this is definitely a great location. Just want people to be aware this is more like a hostel than a private living space. I think it should be listed clearly how often the common areas are cleaned as well.
