I really wanted to like my room and my first stay in NY but, although a few good qualities of the place did shine through, I am unable to do so.

My room was TINY and the pictures unfortunately do convey the sense that the room is bigger than it actually is. In my case, I was shocked to find that my room had no walking space in it whatsoever. The room is literally able to hold the bed only, with a closet that can maybe hold 10-15 shirts if you really plan carefully.

What was even worse was that I never met Isaac or Linda for my entire two week stay. To their credit, they did send me a text on the last day apologizing for not seeing me. But not even saying hi to your guest once is simply unacceptable. They really did solidify the vibe that they were uncaring, slightly dishonest and just happy to take my money.

The wifi was pretty slow and not easy too use either. The wifi also was turned off on my last day, as yet another reminder that they wanted me out as soon as possible. They even had the nerve to say that another guest had turned off the wifi instead of them, which to me sounds pretty ridiculous.

I will say that the bathroom was nicely done, the location was convenient and their family (the only people I did meet) were decent to me. However, in the end I cannot recommend the room to anyone. Spend the extra $10/night and find something that's actually livable.

I'll also say that the bathroom was quite nice.

That alone is
