Ed was well organised and though he wasn't present during the first two days of my 4 night stay arranged for a friend of his to clean his apartment, go through the house rules with me and hand over a set of keys. The apartment is up one set of stairs in a block of apartments down on a quiet street conveniently located about a five minute walk from the columbus circle stop. Ed's description and photos are accurate. The small room was sufficient for myself with my one big suitcase during my four day stay, and the double bed comfortable. Ed was helpful when I lost the key to my suitcase in helping me break into it and also helped me carry my suitcase out of his apartment to a taxi on the street.
