Doug was very nice and helpful. In terms of being a good host- he gets 5 out of 5. The room was clean and the bed was nice.

Having said that, there were a few issues that made my stay a mixed experience:

- The apartment is at least 20 minutes away from a subway system (both if you walk or take the bus+wait)

- The neighborhood didn't feel completely safe, especially at night

- A beeping sound (day and night) from an alarm system, not the best recipe for light sleepers

If these issues don't bother you - it is a good ROI for a few night in NYC.
