We (Group of 4 adults) stayed at Julian's place for 4 nights. It was a very convenient stay. The location of his apartment is the biggest plus. Halsey St. is a 2 min walk and the J train that runs 24x7 that connects you to any part of the city. The room is exactly as it is in the pictures and was decently clean. Julian was very prompt in his responses over email or text. He even helped us in arranging a taxi for our return to LGA. The apartment is in the basement with only one window and a patio entrance in the living room. The bedroom has no fresh air inlet. That's probably the only thing to note if one has reservations about ventilation. The neighborhood is very safe. On two of those days we returned past midnight and it was absolutely fine. A grocery store even closer than the station is a good help too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place just to sleep at night and is majorly going to be out all day. There is not much or in fact anything to do if you plan to stay at home.
