Overall, it was a great experience. The picture reflects well with the room. The room was clean. The location is great. There was 3 flight of stairs which was a little unexpected. The host was very responsive. If you need to check-in early or late, you would have to store your luggage in the hall way, and we didn't have any problem with it. Check-in was at 3 pm, so my wife and I hanged out at alleynyc before we could check-in. At the day of checkout at noon, we were not leaving NYC until the afternoon, so we left our luggage and picked it up on our way out.
