A wonderfully cozy and comfortable place. The shower bed, lounge etc are very nice. And although it is a basement, we didn't find there was much noise at all (we were working from home all day). Just some stair climbing a few times a day. No noise at all, quiet street and nice bed!
The basement is also remarkably cool and lacks humidity. This is so important in NYCs sweltering summers. It made sleep and lounging especially nice. We couldn't wait to get back at night when we went out. The wood panels, books, and art also add character to the place. I never thought I'd enjoy a basement so much!
There is no kitchen- this is important to know for some travelers. But there is a hotplate, toaster oven, cups/plates, a decent fridge, etc to be able to make/heat up some quick meals.
