Brady responds quickly to messages and was very nice. House was cleaned but since there are 8 rooms rented in the house it stays only as clean as your housemates leave it. This room is on the third floor up two flights of stairs. It was about an 8 min walk to the J subway line and you can take that into Manhattan in about 30-45 min. There is a skylight with a tarp over it that flaps in the wind so if you are a light sleeper beware:-). We had no issues with sharing the two bathrooms since everyone seemed to be in and out at various times.
