I had a really good experience staying in James' place. I mostly saw James in passing, but he is very nice, as well as responsive and a good communicator over text. I requested an early check-in time and he was flexible in accommodating it and the coordination was seamless. I found the apartment to be comfortable, reasonably priced, and conveniently located only about 2 blocks from the nearest subway station so it was very easy for me to get around. Other guests should know that the apartment is on the fifth floor and there is no elevator, and it was helpful that James was upfront about that, as well. I would recommend a stay at his place to other travelers to New York, especially those who are looking for affordable accommodation and appreciate a neighborhood with lots of Dominican flavor!
