I stayed three nights at Majar's place with a friend of mine from college. The room and house were exactly as pictured, and very clean. The neighborhood is perhaps not the nicest in NYC, but I arrived at 2 am from the subway and it seemed fairly safe. We did not see much of Majar and his family, but when we did, he was nice.

There were two issues with the stay. As the walls are very thin, we could hear our neighbors, including the exact words of their conversations--not very private. The other: my friend woke up the last night she was there with maybe 20 welts; they looked like insect bites. (I had none). It didn't look like there were bedbugs or anything, though. We talked to Majar about it and he assured us that everything got sent to the laundromat after every guest, which I thoroughly believe--the place was extremely clean and neat, but that he was going to make sure that the place was extra-cleaned.
