I arrived earlier than expected, and although Mehmet was working he made sure to do everything he could to provide me the keys, and directions, to the apartment (AirBnB also gives a slightly different address to his place). The apartment was clean, warm, and smelled great! The bed was very comfortable and the room was large for NYC standards. The room has a large TV which is nice to have if you are looking to veg out after a day of exploring. Bathroom was clean which is very important to me. The location is just a block away from the 1 train which was ideal for getting around NYC, taking only about 20 minutes to get to Times Square. I also felt safe coming home in the evenings.

The living room was rented out while I stayed here, so I felt like I had to adjust my schedule a bit so as to not wake the other guests - BUT, this is only because I normally am up, ready, cooked meals for the day, and out of the door by 7:30. If you are an average person, this will not be an issue as the other guests are told to be up by 7:30 or 8:00 so as to convert the living room back into an open space.

Mehmet made sure to check in every day to see how his guests were making out and to offer any help. He was very accommodating, tentative, and communicative. I would highly, highly recommend staying at his place! :)
