I enjoyed staying at Edward's in East Village NYC. The room is small, but nice and clean, with a comfy double bed and bonus common area with kitchen.
There is all you need, from USB chargers to fast WiFi connection to hot shower - just no windows as it's a basement apartment.
There is always another guest in the adjacent room, so you may mingle with fellow travelers, but don't worry - your room comes with a lock and key.
Edward is a very hospitable person with excellent communication who can make you feel welcome in an instant.
The location is good with a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest Subway, offering quick and easy access to Lower or Upper Manhattan.
