The apartment is in an amazing location in terms of convenience... subway access, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and more. The apartment itself has enough furniture and storage space for a month stay, but it is as bare bones as can be. There is no dining table so meals are eaten on a desk where the modem/router sit while sitting on a folding chair. There is nothing on the walls or any decor whatsoever. No TV. Towels and sheets are worn, and kitchen supplies run from non existent to gross. I had to buy my own everything. Lionel is trying to sell the apartment and is spending as little as possible on upkeep or decor. He is not really into 'hosting." There is a building being constructed next door, but if the windows are kept shut the noise is not a problem. Lionel made sure to let me know he would need to be able to show the apartment to potential buyers during my stay, but he failed to tell me that the elevator might not be working as it was due to be replaced at some point in the near future. When it stopped working he made this my problem and said our contract was still the same without a functioning elevator. He just didn't seem to care about anything but money.
