Mike Y. was extremely nice and accommodating, and the room appears as pictured in the photos. If you are just looking for a place to crash in NYC and a friendly host, I would definitely recommend this place. But while the apt. seemed to have been renovated, the building itself was rather run down, and the internet was spotty. It is on the 5th floor and the elevator never seemed to be working. The host included a note not to bring food into the bedroom because it could attract cockroaches or bugs, which concerned me. It was advertised as having a washer/dryer, but that is actually a laundry room you have to pay for in the basement of the building. Also, the apartment is conveniently located right by the train, but the area around the apt. is not cute, and doesn't have many shops or restaurants. Had I known all this, I don't think I would have stayed here. But, it is a great price for NYC for a few days and is very close to transportation, like I said. So it just depends what you are looking for.
