The location - one block away from two subway lines - was truly convenient. However, the photograph is a gross misrepresentation of the room where I stayed. The space in the photograph is where the host stays. The room allocated to me had but a small window that lets in no natural light or fresh air whatsoever. It was pitch black and asphyxiating. I was not given sheets or a pillow or a bedcover. When I asked for a top sheet, the host simply ignored my request. I was made to keep the door of the room closed, whether I was inside or outside. I was even told not to use the one table in the apartment. I was given permission to prepare the oatmeal I had brought for breakfast, but when the host was in the apartment, a curtain divided her space (the space in the photograph) from where I was, and the host made it clear (by not returning a greeting) that she did not wish to be disturbed. In essence, the ad was deceptive, to say the least. Had I known, I would have paid a little more or stayed at a hostel.
