This place is great. The room is spacious, and the apartment overall is huge (by any standard, not just NYC standard) but feels cozy. Roommate is really cool and fun to hang out with. Great for long-term stays, since it has neat amenities like the projector screen for watching movies, an espresso machine, and in-building laundry. Room & bathroom looked like it was freshly and thoroughly cleaned when we arrived. Daniel even left us some nice chocolates and snacks! Neighborhood has plenty of cheap places to eat. Subways are close by.

Because this is a first-floor place and the bedroom windows face the street, it does get a little loud with people walking down the street and cars/buses coming by, but our considerate host even left earplugs!
