it was a nice stay, clean and private.it’s a basement so you hear footsteps from upstairs here and there but it’s nothing exaggerated, and if you’re staying in ny i doubt you’ll be inside all day so it’s really no problem. to get to manhattan or literally anywhere you’d like to go, the bus stop is only 4 minutes away or the subway station is around a 12 minute walk which was perfect for us. the host was very attentive and patient with me, friendly as well. although i did not meet them face to face it was pleasant talking to them and asking for assistance when i needed it. it was a nice stay and for an affordable price as well, i would not mind staying there again.
