The neighborhood is fine. The apartment is adequate. What I didn't like is that it's not clear from the listing that Martin rents out 2 (or more?) rooms in this apartment. Had I known that, I would've stayed elsewhere. In addition, the check-in process was a pain. Generally, Martin was responsive. But I wanted to drop my suitcase off early (around 10 am), which Martin had agreed to before I booked the room. However, the day before my arrival, when I texted to ask about dropoff, he didn't respond. The morning I arrived, I also called, texted, emailed - again, no response. In the end, I had to haul my suitcase around NYC for the day. It wasn't the end of the world, but certainly avoidable.
