The room is a good deal for having your own little studio apartment. There's a closet to hang things, some basics were provided along with the 'kitchen' area with the microwave and mini fridge, like plastic forks and spoons and cups. Carmen and her son, Willy, are both really nice. Carmen is a really sweet, beautiful woman, inside and out. She has, kind of a shining spirit. Nice to be around. Willy is also very nice and takes care of the building. It's a good value for having your own area, first door inside the two doors with keypad entry. I was left alone, which I wanted, and just got a knock or two when Carmen offered me clean towels or to do weekly cleaning for me. I preferred to clean the space using her supplies. (Felt awkward to have her clean my space like a hotel!--couldn't do it!) 10 to 15 min walk to the M or L train, which both are a little tricky as far as subway lines, but mostly convenient. If you're not experienced with the train or willing to ask a lot of questions, you can get very confused traveling on them. I didn't, but I've lived in NYC all my life. My friend who usually lives in the Bronx got confused on the M and L trains. Neighborhood is right in between Williamsburg and the original Bushwick! Safe, and you can feel the gentrification creeping up to the doorstep! But original charm still remains. Inexpensive eats, bodegas, and dollar stores a-plenty. Nice clean space. It's NYC, and the walking space is small in the room! Good A/C and windows you can open, or lock safely shut. Shower was good. Overall, nice stay and good value!
