Jimmy is very sweet and accommodating! We were delayed and had a late arrival and he stayed up to greet us and show us to our room. We loved that he provided shower sandals, especially since it is a shared bathroom, and the shower is a high traffic area, not a designated space. We also appreciated the water cooler, so we could have filtered water, and bring a full water bottle out each day. Close to bus lines, and close to great food, highly recommended Parva coffee shop, and Bagel House. Keep in mind this is a basement with steep steps and several different levels throughout the inside space as well. The kitchen and bathroom are shared with another rented room, and the family lives directly above in the brownstone, so there is lots of house noise around you. There is no AC or heater. We got lucky with weather so window worked fine and we were exhausted from exploring all day so we were able to pass out and sleep.
