This basement space with basic amenities is great for anyone traveling to New York on a budget. Be aware that the stairs to the basement are very steep and narrow. The bedroom has a private lock and the bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on. There is a fan in the room to cool you when the evening temperature is warm. The private bathroom is nice and the little kitchenette with a table for one, basic dishes, a sink, refrigerator and microwave are a nice touch. Debra is a very communicative, charming host. She has 4 other rooms available in the main house, too, if you are not comfortable staying in a basement. I recommend Debra's home.
