Helen's place has an amazing location, minutes from famous places like Katz, Russ and daughters and Veselka. It's a small room, like a typical old NY apartment but cozy and tidy. The only issue, which I knew beforehand is that Helen has to enter your room to use the bathroom. She was true to her word and never entered while we were there but it can be a bit awkward if you need to sleep in. She was extremely nice and didn't make us feel uncomfortable but it can still feel like you're imposing if you get in late and sleep in until noon. If your hours are more regular though, this is an amazing deal location wise and Helen is very accommodating.
