if you're looking for a short stay to get the NY experience, this place will do. Good location in the LES, however a bit far from walking to a subway. It is quiet and away from the loud noises of NYC streets. The room is very basic and if you are coming in for Winter or Summer, watch out - no AC unit or heating. The host was around here and there and easy to get in contact with. It's a simple place to be, nothing fancy.
