The room is situated really well, a short walk from the metro. I didn’t meet Septina but was greeted by her sister upon arrival. If you are travelling without data I would ask Septina for the wifi in advance just in case you run into any issues like I did - the doorbell doesn’t work and so I had to fit my arm through the railing and knock as loud as I could!
The room itself is very clean and as described. It’s single glazed so you will be able to hear everything happening on the street at night and fire engines and police cars at all hours (it’s opposite a fire station).
The bed had a single sheet which isn’t enough for NY winter however when I asked, I was given a quilt.
There is access to one shared bathroom which had an interesting(?) smell upon arrival. Septina’s sister was quick to bring the febreeze and help eliminate it! There was a used bar of soap with hair on it in the shower - I’m not sure if this was the shower soap as listed but I bought my own soap from the shop nearby.
You will be sharing the apartment with multiple people who are on their own time frames - there was a few times I was woken up by people coming and going, as well as use of the kitchen.
Overall I’d say it’s a good spot if you’re using it as a place to crash and aren’t a light sleeper!
