To be transparent it felt like a hostel, minus having a private room. Good place if you’re solely looking for a crash pad to sleep & shower, as that is what you’re paying for at this price-point. Carlos was really nice/accommodating, can see why he’s a Superhost.
Just 2-3 minutes to a subway stop that goes into Manhattan. Neighborhood seemed a little sketchy, but I felt safe with a police station on the street nearby. AC in the bedroom was a godsend as it was a hot, humid summer weekend. Walking distance of a Walgreens, dollar stores, etc. for any essentials. The shared bathroom was clean.
However the pillows were very hard/firm/uncomfortable, I suggest bringing your own if you can. I found a stray blonde hair that wasn’t mine on the bed when I arrived. I thought it would be easier, but it was far (45 min-1 hour each way) to get into parts of Manhattan or some trendy parts of Brooklyn via subway/bus/Uber/Lyft.
