Claudius was an excellent host. He was responsive and attentive, and was never once intrusive or overbearing. Any issues (which I had none), seemed like they would be resolved very quickly, as his response time on any other questions I had was quick and effective.
The apartment is perfect if you are looking for an affordable, comfortable place to stay outside of the city. Almost all of my time was spent in the city, so having a quiet place to retire to after a long day was awesome, especially since my stay was for 17 days.
It was well organized and VERY clean when I arrived. Check-in and check-out were effortless.
The apartment is just a 6 minute walk from the LIRR, making travel to and from Manhattan quick and easy.
Having a decently equipped kitchen helped me cut my own costs, as I was able to cook for myself when I wanted. There's a grocery store and laundromat located directly across the street from the apartment.
I will definitely work with Claudius again, and I would stay in this apartment again if I'm ever staying in New York for an extended period.
