I gotta say, this is my first time staying at a shared room and the experience was great! I met a lovely roomie and was able to explore a different side of NY. If you go to Jefferson street, (where the L train stops) whole street is full of food cars, restaurants, lights and people everywhere! Had a great time! You get to control the heat/A/C of your own room, that was plus! Shower was great! And host made my check in experience super easy and smooth - thank you Filiz!
