Room was good for the price, perfect for a single or couple travelers. John was a bit gruff early in communication, but he apologized due to a bad day. He was gracious showing me the quirks of the place once I got there. Shower is handheld in the tub, so just be aware of that. Your room connects to john's but he always maintained my privacy. Good location in the city near the lower east side, though there were a good number of transients hanging out outside of the building but never felt unsafe. Overall would stay there again.
