hey!
I just read your review about the youth hostel in new york and it seems great. I'm looking for a hostel to stay in for roughly a week during august.

How is the luggage security? are there places to put valubles or is it relatively safe.
Any other info would be much appreciated... its my top pick so far.
thanks :)
