I almost didn't get to meet Christa and Zach because of our busy schedules we kept missing each other! But, when I finally did, Christa was nothing short of warm and welcoming and an instant friend! The fact that they had a keypad lock made it so easy for me and my schedule to come and go as I needed without having to deal with an exchanging of keys. The room and bathroom are cozy but were perfect for my stay. I definitely wouldn't stay there if you are traveling with a partner, but for one person its just fine. They were super close to the subway which made it very easy to get to Manhattan. I did have trouble getting an uber to their place the one time I tried, so if you prefer cabs this place might be tricky. I found the subway train very easy and as quick as a cab though. They also let me leave my bags there on my last day after my stay had completed so that I could go exploring around the city and not have to carry them until I was headed to the airport which was a huge weight off my shoulders- literally! I will say, the surrounding neighborhood wasn't as fun and interesting as I was hoping as far as any cool shops or eateries or the general atmosphere. Overall I enjoyed my stay. Very pleasant.
