i am in nyc often-- a few times a month, usually. i usually crash with friends, but this was a very last minute trip to attend a book festival in brooklyn, so i needed a last minute place to stay for myself and my man. i didn't think i'd be able to find anything affordable last minute, but joey's place was perfect. he responded quickly, accepted quickly, and sent over details immediately. the place was easy to check in and out of, because it was all done through a lock box outside the door. we were a little confused upon arrival, because we didn't know exactly which door it was, and we didn't know the wifi code once we got in, but we were able to figure it out quickly, and joey got back to us when he was able to. the location was convenient and within walking distance to the train. the room (and the shared space) was very clean, the apartment was spacious, the kitchen was lovely, and there was even a backyard, though we didn't use it, because it was pouring out. we didn't spend too much time there, but when we did, it was exactly what we needed. the bed was comfortable, sheets were clean, and the bathroom was clean. his roommates were respectful, and we were in and out without a problem. thanks, joey! would not hesitate to stay again.
