Casper’s place more than met my needs for a one night work-related stay. It’s in a safe neighborhood, with many many restaurants, bars, movie theaters, parks nearby and easy access to public transport. Check-in was easy because Casper was very flexible, which I appreciated. The apartment itself was very clean and the room, although small, did have a table/desk, A dedicated and adequately sized guest armoire, and enough room to just barely roll out my yoga mat. The radiator kept the room very toasty on a NYC winter night, but there was no way to turn it down or open a window, and I awoke with a very dry throat. I have suggested that a humidifier be available upon request. The lighting in the bedroom was more than adequate. The apartment is very quiet; however, the radiator knocked and hissed intermittently, so you may want to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
The guest bedroom and bathroom are adjacent, and separated from Casper‘s bedroom by the kitchen, creating a more private feel. Water pressure was mediocre (typical for NYC) And there was plenty of hot water. I appreciated the good – smelling natural liquid soaps in the apartment, and the body wash dispenser in the shower— I didn’t use the shampoo, but the body wash smelled great! The fridge was clean and there was plenty of room for my restaurant leftovers.
I did not meet Joey during my stay, but he was friendly and responsive to my texts.
The apartment is a fourth floor walk up with steep and narrow stairs and the narrowest hallways i’ve ever seen an NYC.
If you are looking for space to stretch out and relax, this is not the place – – but if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, safe place to sleep and shower offering you excellent access to the city with a friendly and responsive host, this is a great stay. I’ll be back.
