The room had a separate entrance which was great but you have to share the bathroom as mentioned in the listing. To get to the bathroom you have to cross the hallway to get to Luis apartment where the bathroom is located. The bedroom is rather small but was big enough for our needs since we were always out all day. Luis was a very polite, helpful and friendly host. The neighborhood seemed calm and rather safe. It’s a 10 minute walk to the subway and you get to Manhattan in about half an hour. Check in and check out went smoothly and on our own time. The keys were put into a master lock outside the building which can be opened with a code you get from Luis. We were first given the wrong code but Luis came downstairs immediately and opened it for us.
