John may be a little strict on the rules, but that also makes the stay be smooth. The house is clean, very conveniently located and is in a quiet neighborhood which can be a task to find in NYC. The only issue I had was having only 1 shared bathrooms among 4 bedrooms, which too is located in the basement. However, other than that, it's certainly a great place to work out of, if you're planning for a longer stay in NYC, without breaking the bank.
