Matt's place is a reasonably priced place to stay in NY. It's in a nice quiet residential neighborhood, an easy walk to the M train that goes into the city. The apartment is pretty much as described/shown in the pictures. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and the kitchen bigger and better equipped than I expected. Matt was great at responding to messages quickly, and check-in was easy with his mom. She was great, very kind, and gave me lots of helpful information (and a subway map).
Things to note: There are stairs going down, and there are some consequences of it being basement apartment - there's not much little natural light, and the bathroom is close to the building's sewer pumps. Overall it was a fine place to stay in NY.
