If you are looking a low budget place to enjoy a few days in New York on a tight budget this is definitely your best price/value option. The coach is comfortable, the loft is spacious, luminous and safe and Elisabeth is a good hostess. The bathroom is clean with a nice hot shower. In the morning you can serve yourself coffee and there is some space for you to store your food in the fridge. The only caveat is that if you are allergic to or you can't stand cigarette's smoke this is a NO GO place for you, since Elisabeth smokes regularly in the living room (the same place where is the couch).
