Gil was nice enough to add an air mattress to the room after we requested it when we got into the apartment. The room includes a fridge and microwave and other guides to New York. The washroom is right outside of the room as well which is nice. Gil was very nice and gave us recommendations on where to go and what to do around the area. The room was nice and neat but the hallway outside wasn't in very good shape with newspapers and garbage on the ground, however it did not affect our stay. We had a feeling maybe Gil rented out his only bedroom and weren't really sure where he slept during our stay. He seemed to be on the sofa chair by the front door in the mornings when we woke up each morning leading us to believe maybe he slept on the chair at night. However he was very gracious, always asked if we needed anything and recommended the best way to go to certain places and cared about our well being. The apartment isn't in the greatest neighbourhood, lower middle class, but at no times did we feel totally unsafe. The subway is about a 10 minute walk which isn't too bad. But we happened to go during a very cold time so it wouldve been better if it was closer, during the summer however it wouldn't be too bad.
All in all for the price it was a good stay. Room is nice, bathroom isn't too bad, could be a better neighbourhood but a great host who caters and helps when needed.
