Lola is a great host and her place is very central to the night life in Manhattan. The room is relatively loud as it is located next to two hospitals and a police station. I was there for a month and sleeping was difficult but I also live in a much quieter suburban neighborhood back home. All in all, I enjoyed my stay and I would highly recommend it for a shorter term stay, a week or less. If you're one of those people who can sleep through anything then even longer term stays would probably work well for you too.
