Our stay at Davids apartment was very good. It is a great alternative close to Manhattan (aprox 40 min to Grand Central), and we loved living and breathing the neighbourhood as if we were locals. We loved staying at a house with character, with original details. The area is beautiful, there are stores open 24/7, close by, which is very convenient, and the apartment is quite close to the metro. It is spacious, very comfortable, and has nice furnishing. The bathroom has been renewed, it is big and comfortable. The kitchen is well equiped, we were able to make plenty of our meals. Although we were ok with this, you dont have 100% privacy since some of the closed doors of your apartment could be used by David during your stay (his office, for instance).
As regards cleanliness, in general it was ok, but we were unlucky to find stuff left behind by previous travelers which made us uncomfortable. We were a little bit disappointed to find a construction site, with scaffolding on the facade, but there was no work being done at the time of our stay.
We recommend David`s place, plus he was very attentive and helpful with all our inquiries.
