The place was far from a resort, but if you need a place to sleep and aren’t concerned with being super close to Manhattan, it’s great. The place was old but it was clean. If you’re concerned with luxury at all, maybe not for you, but I was traveling by myself to New York for the first time, and it worked well for me. The host was very helpful and I imagine I could have gotten more local tips from him if I had been around more to see him. When I arrived he helped me lug my suitcase up all the way to the fourth floor, and that alone I was very grateful for. Also the price was amazing, and it was conveniently located near two subway lines.
