We are two french students and our trip in NYC was very great. Angela was very kind and understanding, despite 4 hours behind the scheduled time of check in (due to a late bus).
The room was comfortable, spacious, with everything you need provided. The room and common areas (kitchen, bathroom) were clean and useful, we did not even have to share the bathroom, because the other room was empty.
The apartment is really close to the metro (2 block), which allowed us to ralier manhattan and back to the apartment until late at night (note however the work involved regularly on the lines late at night, this will extend strongly one way).
The only minor annoyance that we had were the work from 7am on the last 2 days next to the window of the room.
So I thank Angela for letting us stay in his apartment cheap for NYC and yet very practical and comfortable.
