The room is in a 2 bedroom apartment (the second room had another guest) in a great part of New York city, with lots of restaurants, shops, and pubs right outside and lots of young people having a good time, a friendly neighborhood. Mayra was a very welcoming host and the room was nice and quiet. I had friends staying at the St. Marks hotel around the corner complaining about the noise while I slept. The bathroom is New York apartment sized but adequate, the kitchen area is functional with coffee making (my only priority).
