Joshua is a very communicative and kind host. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the subway that takes you into Manhattan easily. It is also walking distance to a lot of delicious restaurants. The apartment itself is spacious for what you can get in the area - and was useful for 2 of us working from there at the same time. The cleanliness of the apartment was less than what we expected - there were dirty kitchen items when we arrived, and rust on the floor of the bathtub (maintenance told us they would paint over it after we left).
