Appreciated Casper's considerate communication with us even though he was out of country. It is four flights up but even for us seniors it wasn't bad - you only have to bring your luggage up one time! His place is New York city small but since we were out on the town most of our stay it was adequate. . If the host was home, this would have been a tight space for my wife & me. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was a bit dirty but you are sharing with the host. Basic amenities. Building was fairly quiet at night. Safe and inviting neighborhood. Close to public transportation.
