Dan was very friendly and helpful when I first arrived. While I didn't see Dan much during my stay in NYC, as I was out most of the time, he still went out of his way to send me clear instructions on how to get in the building and what not. The room was small, but for the price, its a steal. I'd recommend anyone to check out Dan's place if they ever want to visit NYC. It is a 5 minute walk from a subway line and is in a safe area.
My only suggestion is that if you are a taller person, then this might not be the place for you. I'm only 5'7 and my feet were almost hanging off the bed and touching the wall, so if you are 6ft+ it might be an issue trying to sleep in the bed. Other than that everything went well and I couldn't ask for more for such an affordable price!
