We never met Ron (he was at the Blackhawks game in Chicago), but spoke on the phone and texted several times. He was very helpful in providing directions and any little details.

Pros:
The apartment was very convenient to the Bedford L train stop with easy access to lower Manhattan and JFK.
Room was spacious with attached full bathroom. Very tough to find in NYC!
Williamsburg is a very cool neighborhood and all of the funky shops and small bars/restaurants are within a few blocks.
Apartment has a really cool rooftop deck, although you should be out in the city and not in the apartment!
Bed was comfortable and linens were clean.
Room and building were both quiet with no street noise.

Cons:
The only major problem was the lock on the front door of the apartment did not work. The residents relied on the building camera system for security. This did not give us much sense of security, as we were about to leave on an international trip and were carrying a significant amount of cash. The lock on the front door needs to be fixed or a lock/key added to the bedroom so guests can secure their valuables.
Room/bathroom could have used some additional cleaning. The floor especially was dirty with lots of small debris in both rooms. The apartment itself was generally clean and well kept.
