You won't get more value for $45 a night. Most other rooms in the same area rented for $75 or more. For your money, you get a safe, comfortable room with full use of the bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and the living room. The apartment has 3 guest rooms and the caretaker lives in a separate apartment on the ground floor.

Unless you are used to sleeping next to a busy street, I would recommend bringing earplugs. The bed is right next to the window and the window is next to the street which is near an intersection. The apartment is also somewhat rundown. It felt clean to me but I'm sure that not everybody would agree.

The caretaker, Chaymaa, was very friendly and helpful. Whenever I needed something, I would send her a quick text and she would happily bring it right up.

I might stay here again if I go back to visit my son and there is nothing else available in the same price range. The difference in cost allowed us to go out and eat at some fabulous restaurants in New York City.
