Firstly, about the host - Jason has excellent communication and was available to answer my questions in a timely manner. He gave me clear expectations for the apartment. Secondly, about the place - this is a great affordable place if you want to work remotely. I stayed for a month and this place met my basic needs. There is a small table to work from and it will be a very tight squeeze if two people are working remotely. There is not a couch, large TV, or a closet, so keep that in mind. You can put your clothes in drawers instead. There are plenty of towels and I loved having a washer and dryer in the apartment. I felt safe in the apartment because there's a locked main entrance and security camera. Thirdly, about the location - it's a decent area, but it's not the nicest location. You'll be 5 minutes away from the 1 line or 10 minutes away from the A C B D lines. There are no elevators at these subway stops. To get into midtown Manhattan or to SOHO, you will be ~30-35 minutes away.
