Room was clean overall. It actually took about 1 hr including the time to walk to the metro station to mid town Manhattan. If you are going to Statue of Liberty, then it would take over an hour. You would actually need to share a bathroom with 5 other rooms in the house but luckily, it was just us and another room and the other guest was courteous. I would recommend this place if you don't mind sharing a bathroom with others and long walk to the metro station.
