David and Julian were great hosts - I was met by Julian and given the keys and a tour of the place. It is a private room near the front of the building with closet space, a comfortable bed, candles, and a little stereo system you can hook up to your laptop if you're in the mood to listen to some music.
Halfway between the L train and M train, it is definitely a convenient spot to get into the city fairly quickly. This was my first time being in New York, David and Julian were very helpful in offering suggestions and how to get to places. Julian even wrote some directions down for me in case service on my phone blacked out (which will happen on the subway!)
There are plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and even a post office conveniently located around the apartment.
The backyard is nice and peaceful to sip coffee or just relax if it's not too cold out.
