Bia was great, she cooked me some chicken noodle soup when I had a cold and helped me get to LaGuardia cheaply. The room is just fine for New York for such a low price. I was very comfortable and she has all the movie channels. I used earplugs to sleep because there is some street noise from a 24-hour car wash. The neighborhood isn't the best (East Harlem) but it's close to Central Park and I had no problem with it. Don't expect a tour guide to the city, as Bia isn't really interested in the tourist attractions.
