Glenn is an excellent host, I definitely recommend staying at his place. As he says, the layout is odd but for me it was not a problem. I always had privacy, there were no schedule issues, I didn’t even get cold showering in an open room which was my main concern about that. Glenn was very helpful before I even booked, answering all my questions about his home and the logistics for getting to the main place I would be going every day during my nearly 2-week stay (the GIA). My big concerns with a place to stay, especially for an extended period, are having a place that's quiet enough and warm enough for me to sleep well, and where I can easily keep and make some convenience type foods. It all worked out really well, Glenn even got a portable heater before I arrived which I didn't need on warmer days (highs in the 50s) but did appreciate when the highs were in the 30s. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. I expected to do no walking in NYC in the winter, but actually walked to and from Times Square quite a few times. It's also easy to get Uber to pick up or drop off right in front of his building. In case it's not clear from the pictures, there are 3 main areas in the apartment. Your space has the bathroom at the far end, the bedroom (with curtains and door), and an adjacent room with a small desk, hangers, etc. In the middle is the kitchen, which has the fridge/freezer, gas stove/oven, microwave, sink, and yes the clawfoot tub with shower. On the other side is Glenn’s space. I enjoyed chatting with Glenn when we were both around. Oh and he even picked up a free menorah that I could use with my Chanukah candles so I didn’t have to make one out of foil! Having cats around was a bonus as I was missing my own. If the location and other details work for you, book it!
