Wendell is a very sweet and considerate host. I was in between apartments and needed a place to stay for the month while still commuting to work. The room was very warm to help with the upstairs neighbors' heating situation, but I was supplied with a quality fan, and having the windows open helped a lot. It didn't pose much of an issue for me after that. There also was a mini fridge that held all my groceries! He has a cat who is very friendly, and everything was very clean and well maintained.
Just a FYI, the apartment is railroad style so maintain privacy, the bedroom is locked from the rest of the apartment, so you need to exit your room, walk down the hallway and open a separate door to access the kitchen and bathroom. For COVID-concerns, I wore my mask in between trips. The room did often smell like weed from the upstairs neighbors but it didn't bother me. The laundry machine kept malfunctioning but Wendell was timely with the maintenance of it all. The area was a little bit sketch, and my commute to Manhattan was always a minimum of a hour but the subway station was 2 blocks away. Overall, I am very happy with my stay and would recommend this place to anyone!
