This was a new listing when I stayed in it so some fine tuning I think is needed (sent private feedback but mostly all were suggestions of things to add). Overall I’d give this four out of five.
The bed and linens were super comfortable and the room was tastefully appointed. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but didn’t bother me too much. The space was clean when I was there.
I didn’t use the communal kitchen during my time and kept some items in the room.
The first night was quiet inside the shared accommodations and outside. The second there there was a bit of late night activity in the kitchen outside of the quiet time guidelines given out and the noise carried into the room (main separation from the overall unit is a pocket door with an electronic pass lock). There is an electronic unit lock at the shared space front door, but the front building door is open for entry. The wi-fi lagged a bit the first night during my stay but fine the next night.
The space is about a five-minute to Bedford Park subway station and it takes under an hour to get downtown. On East 205th Street just east of Grand Concourse (a couple of minutes away) there are two bodegas with awesome sandwiches and grocery basics if you need anything.
The host was accessible right before and at check-in.
