The space is tidy but small. Don’t expect a refrigerator or coffeemaker; I didn’t ask about coffee and could use the host’s refrigerator for some water. Not much privacy, either. It’s a shared bath, there’s no way to lock the door when you go out and the host sleeps steps away on the living room couch. I found the memory foam mattress to be incredibly soft and uncomfortable, to the point where the host and I switched so I ended up sleeping on the couch! The host is very nice and accommodating. I guess if you’re on a budget in NYC and don’t mind these things, it’s fine.
