I never met Daniel but his mother was at the apartment to let me in and give me keys. The instructions for finding the apartment as well as home rules were very clear and this in a safe, fun area of Queens.
The room was clean and neat with a very firm mattress, much harder than I sleep on at home so that interfered with my sleep. The room is very hot so I opened the windows, but it was still uncomfortably hot for me. The apartment itself is quiet but with open windows I had a lot of street noise.
Lastly, although house rules were clear about keeping the kitchen clean, food was left on the stove with dishes in the sink and all of that was still there when I got up in the am. Because the kitchen was not cleaned, food aromas were quite strong in the apartment.
