I recommend this place very highly! I LOVED the room. It's cozy and welcoming with a glass door that looks out over a nice garden. It will be especially beautiful once things start blooming.
Top marks on cleanliness, both for the room and all of Susan's home. I could tell that the room was newly finished, and that a lot of thought had gone into making it feel welcoming.
A separate entrance - also a plus.
For me, the location was also ideal - close to public transportation, but on a quiet residential street where I felt I could get away from the bustle of the city when I was ready.
Susan and her partner Michael were great - both performing artists. They gave me good tips on where to find good off-the-beaten-path music and night life. I felt like such an NYC insider!
