Hosts Kara and Edward were super lovely and happy to help. The room is rather small..well, for someone like me who had 2 big suitcases, a carry on and a big bag. For someone who wanted a room and a fairly big bed with a bit of room, no problem. It wasn't really a problem for me either. I'm pretty easy when it comes to things like this. It was just a bed for me to sleep in really. Big clean bed. Comfy. No natural light in room though. I didn't spend much time in there as i was too busy seeing NYC. Bathroom was small but do-able. I'm only little. I'd say the place was quite clean. I caught Edward cleaning out the rooms once people had left to change the sheets, etc and clean the kitchen and bathroom and vaccum, so i was pleased. There were however a few cockroaches which have seen roaming around in the room and bathroom. No biggie though. The room has some hangers for your clothes if you need them. I didn't use them. There is a tv and a dvd player which i didn't use either. There is a small bedside table with a few drawers if you need it and there's a mirror too. It's not a hotel room so don't expect too much but is perfect for the simple traveller like myself who really just wanted a bed in a nice location. It's safe and it's near the corner of 5th St and Avenue A. There is a supermarket a block away and i always walked to 14th street to catch the L train to get to places. I thought the area was close to everything i needed. Kara was helpful when i arrived and waited until i got there as i got a little lost. Met some lovely people who lived in the room next to me too. This is my first time using airbnb so i didn't know what to expect, but i'll surely be using it again!

Only minusing points for the small room and cockroaches :) Though, i'm sure the small room part was already stated so that's my fault.

Thanks Ed and Kara!
