Elle was very welcoming and helpful. The room is filled with a delightful bed with a comfortable, firm mattress. Lovely soft towels. Location was perfect: subway was across the street for quick transit all over the city. Neighborhood felt very safe, even at night walking by myself. Lots of restaurants nearby, including a very nice little coffee place next door.
No street noise and virtually no noise from adjacent apartments. The water pipe sounds mentioned in other reviews sounded like pigeons cooing to me and did not bother me.
I felt a real sense of privacy and comfort. Excellent value. This would be the first place I would check for availability if I go back to New York City.
