I stayed here for 4 weeks and never had a problem with Barry, the apartment, or anything. Barry was very professional about the entire process. All of the shared spaces (kitchen, bathroom) were always very clean. Each person in the apartment had their own shelf in the fridge and freezer as well as a couple cabinets for food which made it nice to have your own stuff separated. As far as the location, I walked around at all hours during the day and always felt safe. The apartment is only a short walk from the 5 subway train down into Manhattan. Overall a great experience!
