I can recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a good alternative in Manhattan on the other side of Central Park. The place is well located to two subway stations and a Whole Foods market. The rooms are very clean and I enjoyed having my own bathroom. The areas are seperated by a spiral staircase and you also have keys to your own entrance on the upper level. Checking in and out was very smooth and Yvonne replied very fast. The rooms were well equipped (microwave in the bedroom e.g. and shampoo, hairdryer etc. in the bathroom). The noise from the streets can be loud sometimes at night, but I had no problems with them. If you are looking for an affordable accommodation in NYC, this is the one.
