My girlfriend and I were staying NY for 2nights and it was a great to find a place in the upper west side. We flew into NY on the overnight flight from Vegas so we decided to pay for an additional nights accommodation to ensure that we could get straight into our room, shower, have a quick sleep before heading out for the day. We said this in our first message to Philip, and subsequent messages which he didn’t read, so there was confusion to which day we were to arrive. On the ad it was advertised as sharing the apartment with Philip but instead a friend of his was staying who was very loud and inconsiderate (watched the TV on very high volume until 1:30am). Given that we weren't actually staying with the owner, there were no instructions left to let us know anything about the apartment or what are some good places to check out nearby. The bed wasn't made when we arrived and there was only one pillow case.

All-in-all the place and room was very nice, clean and in a really great location, close to the subway, central park, etc. When we stayed it was really hot, but the air condition really helped to take the edge off. However, this was a very unorganised stay and the owners friend who was staying was very inconsiderate.
