Allen was very responsive host. Although we didn't meet him at the listing, he was quick to respond to my messages; almost instantaneously.

I was in New York only for the vacation and I wasn't aware of where to park and how to get around. But before my arrival Allen responded to my messages with clear instruction regarding parking and other amenities around the apartment. I arrived almost after mid-night but that wasn't a problem at all.

The guidebook in the house has useful tips and instructions.

The apartment was just as it looks in the pictures and everything was neat and tidy. The beds were very comfortable.

There is plenty of street parking within 500 feet of the apartment. The Avenue U subway station is literally a minute away.

The neighborhood looks pretty safe and looks residential with houses and apartments around.

Considering this was a basement apartment, there was wooden creaking sound because of people walking in the apartment above, as early as 5:00 AM, but that didn't bother us.

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose the place to stay again and recommend to others visiting NYC.
