I didn't meet the host junior, I don't think it was him communicated with him at all. Every time I called I spoke with a female , who was really nice by the way. I did meet a lady (Julisa, I think) to get the keys upon arrival. The apartment is exactly what how it's described on here. The neighborhood is VERY New York. Which I don't mind because because the Bronx is my second home. But I would never stay in that neighborhood again. There is ABSOLUTELY NO PARKING . The first night I got there it took us over an hour to find parking, and it was the same thing every single day. Friday-Monday. The parking issues made the trip stressful to the point of me wanting to pack my bags and driving back to Boston.

I think the host can improve the apartment by adding a:
1. TV
2. full body mirror
3. Kitchen cleaning supplies - There wasn't any garbage bags in the apartment and we had to buy a new dish washing sponge
4. trash pan for the kitchen area
5. New plastic curtain for the bath tub

The apartment just needs a mother's touch to it. There's no "homely" feeling to it. It's had the bear minimum you need to survive.
