Okay for short term
Pros
If you want a cheap place to crash temporarily, either because you're just moving to nyc, or are here for a month or two, it's a good stable landing pad while you figure your stuff out, and the other people who stay here are usually pretty chill and nice. The 2nd floor that the live in apartment manager lives on is much nicer than the other two.
Cons
During the summer, the top floor is unlivable, especially in the windowless rooms, because of the heat. The fire escape trash cans had rats sometimes. Can be loud, but also you get what you paid for (at least if you're in one of the cheaper rooms -- if you're paying more, you have so much better deals elsewhere)
Apartment vibes
Pros
If your new to New York and you want to meet people this is the place to be because there is 7-8 rooms each floor right buy the train line to Manhattan
Cons
Living with so many people can be Annoying because of everyone living habits and majority of the rooms are so small only 1 or 2 ppl can fit . Some rooms don’t have windows which can be depressing. Management is shady they make rules as it goes. So be careful.
Advice to the owners
Stop renting rooms with no windows and loft beds are to close to the ceiling you can’t sleep up there.
