The apartment was just like the pictures. It was well organized and clean when we got there. It felt cozy and secured. Both bathroom were in good condition. The apartment was about a 7 minute walk to the subway. Easy to get into any location into the city. The neighborhood during the day is nice and at night its probably best to walk home in a group if possible but if not then it is good either way. People mind their own business. Great dominican restaurants around the area if you take a Lyft or Uber. Did not get to meet Brendan in person but he was available through email or text and was good at responding back at a reasonable time. There was a Tv in every bedroom and living room. Brendan let us leave our luggage past the check out time and that truly helped us out with our late flight back home. We were able to go do some last minute shopping before heading out. My group and I had a great time in new york and would definitely recommend his place!
