Sarah and her husband were both very welcoming and helpful, and their daughters so friendly and polite. The room is exactly as listed- very clean, with lots of space to put your things away so that you're not living out of your suitcase. There is a power bar underneath the desk so you can easily charge your devices. Be prepared - if you visit during nice weather you'll want to keep the window open and it is really really noisy outside. I used earplugs while I slept, which helped a lot. The neighbourhood is fine during the day, but I did get warned by a couple of cab drivers not to walk through it during the dark. Oh, and speaking of cab drivers, almost every taxi I rode in, the driver didn't know where they were going. So, when you give the address, make sure to include that it is at Broadway and 135th street west. That'll help. Also, its right beside I bright diner called the Bus Stop Diner, so that should help orient you and/or the driver.

New York is amazing and thanks to the fair pricing that Sarah offers I was able to enjoy myself without feeling like I was going to be in debt forever. The kindness of the hosts was just the icing on top!
