The location of Malik's place was amazing, very close to multiple subway lines and it was easy to get almost anywhere. I never met Malik in person, but check in instructions were clear enough and he was responsive over messages. The windows didn't seem very soundproof so we could hear people/noises outside pretty clearly, but it was generally quiet on the streets. A pretty minor thing given that the listing says no kitchen, but it was slightly inconvenient to fill up our water bottles since we only had access to the bathroom. Overall, the experience was great and I think the fantastic location far outweighs any small inconvenience we had.
