Julian, our host, was extremely welcoming and accomodating during our stay. Overall, the apartment was clean and comfortable. My only complaints would be that the surrounding neighborhood was sketchy and felt unsafe at times, especially during late night walks back from the Halsey J Train subway stop. In addition, the apartment was very hot and humid with no air conditioning, although leaving the fans running for 24/7 made the situation bearable. Overall, decent stay for the price and gracious hosts.
