I stayed at John's while traveling for a conference, and was immediately impressed right after booking. John provides super detailed instructions for check-in and the duration of your stay, since he was out of town while I was staying at his place. The room is clean & tidy, as is the bathroom, & I was able to use dishes & silverware during my stay. The apartment is very close to the J train, which was super convenient. I had to stay out late several of the nights I was in NYC, and I never felt unsafe walking back from the train to the apartment by myself. Even though John wasn't physically at the apartment while I was there, his thorough communication & hospitality made the stay extremely low-stress, allowing me to focus on the work I needed to do! I'd highly recommend staying with John!!
