The place is as described. It is very simple with no frills, but everything seemed clean and the mattress was comfortable. Just expect a classic old New York apartment with a tiny bathroom off the kitchen. It's totally fine for a place to crash, have breakfast, have a shower, and go about your Manhattan business. The subway is about a ten minute walk, so it's not super close as far as Manhattan goes, but it is definitely manageable. Thikshan was very responsive and everything was set up as he described it. We had no issues and an overall positive experience. Thank you!
