Joseph's place is close to the 125st metro and some shops, making it really convenient for travelers. The room and apartment is cozy and easy to get around. Joseph was communicative when it comes to checking in and was accommodating as my arrival time kept getting pushed back to later in the evening. He also offered coffee, breakfast and advice for around the neighborhood - all appreciated. The one inconvenience was there was an intermittent crackling noise during the night and it kept waking me up - it's not traffic noise so might just have been a one time thing.
