Brendan is a really nice host. He lives in the downstairs apartment, which is good to know. He helped us out with both getting pizzas one evening and cabs for the airport. The apartment was as seen in the pictures: neat and nice. We stayed eight persons in the duplex and it suited us very well. The subway isn't too far away. Would recommend this to anyone as long as you are prepared for the subway rides, which can be a bit annoying during the night - but thats the only thing and I don't think it should hold you back from booking this place.
