Great home base for solo travelers

Solo traveled to NYC for 4 nights. The place has everything you need. Bed w/blanket, towels, shower, water station. The main floor has a couple of lively comfy hang out spots aswell, and since the majority of others are also solo, I found myself talking to strangers regularly. Very comfy environment
