Being internationals, we probably didn’t know enough about basement accommodations in the US. The low ceilings, exposed plumbing pipes and electrical wiring detracted from a reasonably good space which had good amenities. Noise from the other tenants was an issue as we are light sleepers and footsteps of people moving around echoed through the quiet of the night and early morning. Zee did place some mats down upstairs, but it was still noisy. There was also some left over toothpaste and soap in the bathroom/shower from the last guest. There were crumbs on the floor in the kitchen, food remains in the sink strainer and the microwave needs a thorough clean on the inside. All these didn’t set a good impression about cleanliness.
Location was 10 minutes from 2 and 5 train subway which takes you to Manhattan in about 35mins.
Zee was always responsive, polite and willing to help out with any issues.
