David was out on business whilst we visited but still managed to accommodate us and communicate with us last minute! Myself and two friends ended our travels in New York end of August. The basement apartment was of a good standard, with good lighting and provided us our own space, a welcome change to the hostel life. The location was off a street of shops which was often busy until late, we found it safe to walk through after dark from the train station. Great connection to the Prospect Avenue although journeys to downtown Manhattan were often 30-40 minutes long which was something we had to consider a lot when coming home after a night out. The apartment was as advertised, we had our own area of the house and with David being away the basement felt like it was our own! There was a decent kitchen that allowed us to cook breakfast and dinner too, we even made lunches for the day and saved on eating out thanks to the Aldi food mart being 15 minutes walk away. The mattress was very comfy, double futon was comfy, bed sheets and towels provided were much appreciated. The shower was nice, had a good pressure and was clean. David was very courteous and considerate especially after we cocked up locking ourselves out at 4am. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.
