While the photos were a little disconcerting since there are two versions of them, the overall experience was positive. The place is a little more tired than the photos suggest, but it is clean, roomy, and fairly comfortable. It was very easy to hear the neighbors in the mornings, and while it didn't bother us that much, it might affect those who like to sleep in. NY is an expensive place to stay, but Yves charges reasonable prices for a very decent place to stay. He provides soap, shower caps, towels (though they might be heavier), and a few basics in the kitchen. Shower is nice and strong. Definitely recommend this place.
