- "My stay was a good one. The family is warm and welcoming yet professional. The house is quite large and my rear of the house room (#5) was spacious, secure and comfortable. I am sensitive to noise and always travel with earplugs; they came in handy as the room is right beside the kitchen. Not terribly noisy, but noticeable to me without earplugs. I would absolutely stay again and am curious to see what the house is like in the busy season with more than two guests. (There was only one guest other than me during my stay, so it was very quiet.) Location is great, walking distance to many great restaurants and markets. Fantastic bagel spot on corner of Franklin Ave and Lincoln Place and great Caribbean food even closer. Unable to speak on transportation since I drove. As always, on the street parking in NYC is not fun with alternate side and no parking lots or decks in the neighborhood, so be warned! All things considered, it was a great stay."

" - "Guter Service, coole Lage (Chinatown, Little Italy), sicherer 24h Dienst" - "Front desk clerks always being very courteous and good with customers" - "Service " - "Great location, very accessible. Toilettries were provided. Rooms remind more jail cells, no windows, no solid ceiling, no AC, fan only. I was able to see the light through the mesh board on my ceiling and I heard very clearly staff talking at the reception. Other than small room size condition of the bathroom is not the best. I took shower, it was no shelf inside to put your soap, ceiling was loft type with exposed piping and dripping to the floor. Hot water boiler was a nice surprise. I would recommend ceiling and bathrooms remodelling. Other than that it's tolerable. "
