David made me feel welcome by correspondence by email. He was not around in person. The apartment was clean and tidy and as it appears on Airbnb. The area was probably not the best choice for a woman travelling alone as it was quite far from where my son was staying in Manhattan and the 14 stops on the subway took a long time. The apartment needs air conditioning in the living room as the summer heat made it oppressive. The air conditioner in the bedroom was a godsend. All in all David was a good host and his recommendations were very helpful.
