St Agnes Residence

St. Agnes Residence is a women’s hotel in New York City that offers affordable rooms for rent on a long-​term basis. The building is well maintained and the location is pretty ideal — within easy walking distance of all major conveniences, the 1,2,3 subway lines, as well as Hudson River Park and Central Park.
Residents range from college students to senior citizens and come from all over the country as well as international residents. People get along quite well, which is important given that each resident has their own small, room, but shares bathrooms, a laundry and a kitchen area. (Note: the kitchen is minimal and not really equipped for cooking other than heating up food, making coffee, toast, etc.) There are also some common areas on the lobby level and wifi throughout the building.
This place works if you are a student or have a really busy life and don’t plan on cooking much, need to save money, or are just planning to be in New York City for a few months. I think there is often a waiting list to live there, so it’s best to call and find out, and then submit an application if interested.
