The room is MUCH better than it appears, it's reasonably spacious and comfy (but no table or chair). It also has a small walk-in closet. The house is big with a living room and a fully furnished kitchen, but no proper table to work on and only one bathroom. You share the apartment with 4 other rooms and the host doesn't live here. I stayed 6 months during an internship and never had any issues with other guests. The location is extremely convenient, 2 minutes on foot from 61st st station where you have both the 7 line (in 20 minutes you're in Grand Central) and the LIRR. Plenty of shops and pubs within 5 minutes, nice and safe neighborhood.
