Emmanuel is a nice and responsive host — I was flying in from Los Angeles and the trip into Manhattan from JFK took much longer than I anticipated, so I met him much later than agreed for check-in, but he was easy about it throughout.
As others have noted here, the apartment is not big on amenities, and I had not noted when I rented it that there was no Wi-Fi — you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of "Amenities" to see that Wi-Fi is crossed off. At times, I had to stand near a window even to get cel phone reception. Yes, it's a third-floor walkup; yes, there's no central heat, just a floor space heater in the bedroom.
On the other hand, it's only $100 a night. In Manhattan, it's not unusual to pay three times that rate for only a room, whereas Emmanuel's place is a small apartment. Put me down as a satisfied customer! Thanks, Emmanuel.
