I didn't have the opportunity to meet John but his friend was fully available for check-in/out even if it was quite hurly.
Appartment looks a lot better in pictures than real and it was sligthly dirty.
However it's very cheap for a 2 bedroom in manhattan so I'll advise it for future visitors if you are looking for a comfortable appartment very near to thr city center for 3-4 people in a small budget.
