This was a great place to be based during my four days in NYC. The location was convenient and the neighborhood vibrant. The room was clean and spacious. I appreciated having the desk with the beautiful view of the trees, as well as the comfy bed and the microwave, fridge, and bowls/cutlery. The room felt pretty quiet by NYC standards, and the bathroom felt private even those it’s shared with one other person since each person has their designated side. As an artists’ collective, the house has a creative and peaceful energy (though I never saw anyone else during my stay, except the other guest once, briefly). The steps up are narrow and steep, so be prepared if you have a heavy suitcase. I appreciated the ceiling fan on the hot days I was there, though some people might prefer AC. Beñat was a great host, very responsive and clear in communicating.
