We had a good stay at Andy‘s apartment. His place couldn’t be more central - its in the heart of Downtown Manhattan with lots of cafes, restaurants, shops, and sights very close nearby. Andy was a great, friendly host and helped us whereever possible! He was easy reachable and responded quickly. We were lucky to sleep in a brand new bed that Andy just finished to set up the day we arrived. The apartment and the private room has a sufficient size for NYC proportions. Unlike other guests mentioned, Andy was at home most of the time we stayed there.
However a big dissapointment was that the rooftop terrace was under maintenance and not accessible. Of course we do not blame Andy for this but we really looked forward to frequently use the terrace for eating, relaxing, etc which was not possible at all. Moreover we would have wished that the bathroom and some other areas in the living room would have been cleaner. It seems the pictures of the apartment were a bit older and/or taken right after moving in.
Overall a good stay with few downsides.
