We have just spent 9 days in this warm and pleasant room. The room is on the first floor of a 2 storey house and you share a bathroom and kitchen. Even before booking I was impressed with how quickly and kindly Allan and his wife responded to al my enquières. Yes the deco is dated and it feels a bit like staying at your nana’s house but everything is spotless. The shower is actually very powerful, the kitchen has all the basics to make some breakfast and a huge fridge. The room itself is huge with loads of storage, a comfy bed, towels and toiletries provided! It is also very warm. Even with freezing temperatures outside I regretted not having brought lighter pyjamas. Allan and his wife are very discreet but will respond to all your queries and requests. The neighbourhood felt safe with a couple of descent bars and a lovely Italian round the corner as well as two supermarkets and a liquor store near by. It is about 20/25mn by metro from 42nd street. My only issue was that, as I am a light sleeper, the room was noisy but I bought some ear plugs and all was good. I would definitely stay with this lovely people again.
