Matthew is very friendly and makes you feel at home in his place.
He provided me with a lot of local information - especially regarding transportation. I have visited NYC many times, but surely learnt a few new things.
The apartment is cosy and clean. And the room I rented is nice - accurately as described in his ad, and the bed is really comfortable.
The proximity to the river is nice - as it is great place to walk/run. I spent 4 days at his place and I would definitely use his place when I visit NYC next time.
