Omar and his partner were very hospitable. He was very responsive to texts. Checking in was not a hassle at all. The bathroom was very clean; he even left a disinfecting wipes as it was being shared between multiple people. Omar offered us kitchen utensils as well, which was very helpful. The house is not far from the 146th street station. The room looked very neat. The only thing that made it not worth the already high NY hotel prices, was the bed. I saw a previous complain about the bed and wish I had not ignored it. The mattress was absolutely not comfortable and the bed was squeaky. To figure out why it was squeaking so much I found out the it was supported on books. The bottom of the bed seemed to have never had any contacts with a broom or a mop and this really made me upset. The sheets could be cotton, something that doesn't make you sweat. It's unfortunate that I couldn't give this experience a full star, because Omar seemed very nice and I'd stay at his place again if he gets a bed a reasonable person could sleep on.
