I mean, it's New York, with this price it's worth it. walkable for from 111AV 7 line (purple one) so if you are in a hurry, go get it. this one saved me lots of money during December.
But remember, it's in basement. place was clean enough to be a basement. hot water, heater no problem at winter, no natural light in the room so you can sleep well, I lived there 2 weeks and I survived lol, so if you are in short visit and want cheap, reasonable price, this is it. Neigborhood was super super safe. laundormate near by, 24 hours.
so it's good for short term, if you know the price of living in NY, if you think like ohhh i paid this much and this is what I get? kind of guy, book another place with your taste. host is GOOD. He's smart and resonable. you won't have problem with him.
