I stayed in this room for 3 months. It is exactly as pictured and described. The surrounding area is a little noisy, which, I guess, is not unusual in NY. After a couple days I got used to it and felt comfortable. The location is pretty neat, e.g. close to all amenities and close to subway, central park, etc. and I felt rather safe. The apartment is shared with 2-3 roommates, which was no problem at all. Anna was a great host and available for all requests and problems before and during my stay. I would recommend this place and come again.
