Definitely a place for 'backpackers'. A bargain for NYC! Excellent location, near to the coolest places of the East Village and easy to get in and out by Subway & Bus.

Edward is a very nice person, respectful, easy-going and ready to answer your questions. The room is fine, very comfortable bed and we even found there a very interesting guide for New York that we used a lot.

The only DOWNSIDE of the place are the bath and kitchen amenities that you share, which are not always in the best conditions. Since it's a basement and there's lots of humidity, you may find bugs or moisture in both. So be warned if you can't stand bugs or small insects (roaches)... you could be surprised when going to pee at night. If you are OK with this GO ahead and book!
