This was a tiny room in the host's apartment, but it actually provided us more space than I was expecting because we could store clothes in a drawer and hang some up, and there was room under the bed to store our luggage. The door to the room has a lock for privacy. The shared bathroom door did not lock (or we couldn't figure it out), but I was not uncomfortable, and it was always available when needed. The host was super friendly, responsive and offered lots of suggestions of things to do. The location was PERFECT for everything we had planned, including getting to and from the airport, seeing shows, and exploring all parts of NYC! I would definitely stay here again.
