Decent place but it's not great for long-term stays. The lack of parking in the neighborhood was not disclosed. I stayed for a month and spent approx. $22/day / $600 extra for stacked parking most days. Budget for it. Street parking is virtually impossible most of the time. The neighborhood is safe and close to highways. However, it's not exactly pleasant with people stalking for parking, lots of dog poop and trash on the streets. Sometimes loud gatherings, music and vehicles as well. The area is fairly hilly for walking around, too.

If you're looking for hospitality, look elsewhere. If you want no interaction, go for it. The hosts communicated and were courteous but made it clear they wanted no contact whatsoever. I felt unwelcome for a long stay. I've done other long stays and not had such a cold experience. The only other drawback was a lot of stomping around overhead - you are in the basement, but it has windows.

Stayed here with my partner for almost three months over the summer while working in midtown Manhattan. We really enjoyed our stay.

Pros:
- Very clean, safe, and quiet.
- Well stocked with towels, games, kitchen and bathroom amenities.
- Very comfortable bed, large pull out couch.
- Great storage for the size of the room - dresser, hanger rack, under bed, storage closet.
- Access to washer and dryer!
- Stayed pretty cool even in summer heat.
- Responsive hosts, kept to themselves.
- Short walk to the subway/transport and stores.
- Separate coded entrance was nice.
- Access to backyard available.

Not cons, but considerations:
- Pretty far from Manhattan (regular commute) if that matters (about 50 mins)
- Parking is hard to find, hit or miss street parking.
- Can hear dogs walking and footsteps quite clearly above the room morning/night
- TV/internet is available but can be slow/spotty.
- Very hilly location: something to keep in mind if mobility is an issue.

I can't even say enough about Lauren and Tim. Not only are they lovely people, but they were responsive, flexible with a late checkout, and just wonderful. I really enjoyed my stay, and I recommend it to everyone.

We enjoyed staying at Lauren's place. The place was near the bus and subway stops. It is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed playing the games and watching the TV in the evenings. She had all we needed during our stay including a washer and dryer to do our laundry. The double bed was cozy.
