Chip's place was great for what I was looking for. I stayed for a month while looking for my own apt. While there are other guests I never found the space to be loud, dirty, or difficult to share amenities. Most of the other guests were young (students). The room had an empty wardrobe & dresser, microwave and mini fridge which were very helpful considering the length of the stay. The location was great because the neighborhood was quiet but also had everything we needed including some fun restaurants and bars. The location on the 1 train is perfect for getting into Midtown/Downtown.
