I was staying at this place for 7 days at around New Year's Eve with my fiend. I've read several comment on this shelter before I came to New York and majority said this is good place and stay at. It turned out that comments are really true. You can trust them. Addition host are really nice and loves to make some jokes during conversation which lessen some fatigue I got on long flight.
If I was asked to say one point to consider, it would be that it took lil bit long time to get to place from uptown where metropolitan museum locates.
