Edward is a really nice guy and very flexible regarding time. We arrived at a time Edward was working, so he couldn't be there to give us the key, but he arranged for us to pick up the key upstairs so we could drop off our stuff. Checking out was easy as well; we could leave our stuff at his place untill we actually left New York.
The room is perfect for when you're staying for a couple of days and just need a place to sleep. The bathroom really reflects it being in a basement (pipe running through the room, a bit rusty and I saw some small bugs), but this was no problem for us. Oh and the towels we're nice and soft! :D
