I rented this space for friends visiting NY for the first time. They were very happy with the space itself as well as the location's proximity to transit. Also, it was a very quiet home which allowed my friends to rest well after long days of site seeing.
Mel's place is exactly as advertised: clean and comfortable with WiFi. :) He went above and beyond by providing snacks and breakfast foods (including coffee and a coffee maker) for their stay. Mel was readily accessible and communicative. Check-in and check-out were hassle free.
I recommend Mel's studio apartment without hesitation!
