Howard's place is conveniently located in an area with good restaurants and it's quiet at night. The space is weirdly cut out of a larger building, as are many small apartments in Manhattan, but it has the basics that you need. The price had seemed reasonable for what we wanted but it seemed Howard was distracted by a sick child.
We had to wait to get the detailed instructions on where to find the key and how to get in, although he followed up to check we had. Because of this entry delay we just dumped our bags and went for dinner, then on returning late found he did not finish preparing the place for us. The apartment wasn't clean, and the beds hadn't been made up. We found 2 top sheets in the tumble dryer, but the bottom sheets on the beds did not look like they had been changed and we found an unused condom packet in one bed between the blanket and sheet!
It seems others had a better experience in this regard so it was probably circumstantial for us, and I'm his child, was sick but when you're charged both a servicing fee and cleaning you expect at least a clean bed.
