As art lovers, we had high hopes for Norman's place; however, these hopes were very much let down. The hosts, Norman and Louie, are friendly enough, and Louie even tried hard to make sure that he was back for our odd check-in time. And to give credit where credit due, the details mentioned in the description are accurate - the location is walking distance from Penn Station, the apartment is filled with art, and the bathroom is huge and very clean. However, two major issues warranted this poor review. Firstly, the room was almost unbearably hot, and we stayed in winter when the temperatures were nearly freezing outside. We ended up covering the radiator with towels and blankets because it was just too darn hot. We were going to open the window to let in some air - and this leads to the second issue. The window was practically nonexistent. It was literally detached from the railing, and was attached to the windowsill with masking tape and cellophane. It was therefore impossible to raise it to let in air. There wasn't even a screen door, meaning that if we removed the tape, there would be a literal hole in our apartment. Although the haphazard window setup failed to let in cold air, it succeeded in exposing the room to all the sounds of the city, to the extent that it was nearly impossible to sleep at all at night. Norman and Louie are nice people, but it was simply impossible for us to enjoy our stay at their place in any way. I advise them to fix their window before accepting any more guests.
