Anthony checked in with me right when I landed at JFK and assisted me in using only public transportation to get from JFK to 28th st Manhattan. He met me at an agreed location and we walked to the apartment from there. The room is almost exactly as pictured except their was a small fridge which was very helpful because I stayed for a month. As far as how Anthony behaved as a host, he seemed a bit on the edge at times which I found a bit unwelcoming, but judging from previous reviews - he must be a decent guy, so I'll give him the benefit of doubt. I learned that Airbnb and NYC condos/apts/hotels are not exactly friends, so perhaps that's why Anthony was overly cautious just to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
