I really love the place. The house is old, classy and compact. The number locks are convinient for self check-in. The first night I lock myself out without having a number, but David was so fast in his response and solved my situation. Keep in mind that the rooms facing the street are also subject to the sound of metro train. Sometimes activities in the neighboring rooms can be noisy, too. The neighbor across the street had a loud party on Saturday night. But overall it is a blessing for its proximity to metro station, ultra low price, and owner's hospitality. I look forward to my next trip to NYC and David's house.
