If you’re a bottom line person, I’ll start with that so you can move through faster. In brief, yes to everything about this place. I couldn’t recommend Joanne and this little sanctuary enough. All the stats in the post are accurate, so no need to be redundant. Plain and simple, if it’s between this and another place, book this one. It you’re even on a maybe, book this one... just book this one.
If you wanna know a bit more about my thoughts, this place has been amazing for me. I stayed a month, so I know this place, it’s owners and it’s neighborhood now and the best way to sum it up is that it feels like home.
The pictures are spot on for what this is, so there’s that.... but what they can’t get across is how this place feels. Clearly, Joanne, the host, poured a metric ton of love and thought into making this what it is. To me, if a room could hug, that’s what it does every time you walk in.
Ample storage, a bathtub (amazing), really clean, great mattress, private separate entrance and so many personal touches. She’s just so aware of this being a home away from home
There is a wash and fold laundry service on the corner... a grocery and liquor store two blocks away... between two parks... and a subway stop really close by (again, two blocks down).
I don’t wanna bore you, but for me, it was everything I wanted and a vibe I didn’t realize I needed.
