We stayed at Andre's for a week. It was definitely good value for money and the subway is nearby, so it was very easy to get to the rest of Manhattan. However, we were a little disappointed because we didn't share the apartment with Andre as we were told initially (which he admitted), but with several other people during the week. While sharing the bathroom was not a problem at all (as it was supposed to be anyway), we would have liked to be warned about sharing with other guests instead of the host before we booked, as that would have been a deciding factor in our decision to book. Other than that, the room is functional and nice enough if you just want a place to sleep and wash.
