We really liked staying in Brady's room. In particular we enjoyed the option of getting a (free) breakfast in the morning in the kitchen (and we used it every day ;) ). Everything was very clean, the communication very good. Brady was very attentive, for example he made sure we get a heater because the weather forecast predicted falling temperatures ... so expect Brady to take very good care of you too :)

The other guests at the house were very nice to talk to, it didn't feel like in a hostel (something I feared).
There are good public transportation options available: A bus 1 minute away and the subway less than 10 minutes. So Manhattan is reachable in around 30 minutes.
The only thing people should be aware of is that the room doesn't have a real window (only a covered rooftop window).
