Angelo was a very friendly host, and the room was as shown in the photographs. Getting into the apartment was easy, and given the summer heat, it was Godsend to have working AC in my room. The common space was clean, and the shower had excellent water pressure and temperature control. My only a few caveats: 1) If you are mainly a side sleeper, the bed is a mattress topper on top of a box spring (i.e., there is no mattress) 2) If you are a light sleeper, the subway station drives very loudly by the window throughout the day and night. (Angelo was very kind to offer ear plugs to dampen the noise.) 3) I noticed the faint smell of smoke in the apartment on one evening. (Thankfully, the smell was in the common area, not in my room.) Aside from these items, I would recommend this place to anyone who just needs a place to crash at night because it is a GREAT bargain for very quick access to the Manhattan and a kind and accommodating host. Thank you, Angelo!
