I can't say enough positive things about Brandon or his apartment. The host went above and beyond in accommodating my very late check in and departure times. The property is exactly as described, and has an incredibly homely atmosphere. Brandon's suggestions for food places were top notch, and I would strongly consider staying here again when I return to NYC. The apartment is a fifth floor walk up, but if that doesn't concern you, I would challenge you to find a better stay at this value.
