The photos of the apartment are more flattering than it is in actuality. The apartment has character due's to Martin's decorating however it needs updating. Many parts of the apartment are run down and in need of repair...however the unit is very clean. The bed is comfortable however the room feels baron and lacks warmth. The bathroom is very small and shared by the host and another rental which can make it a tight squeeze. The location is within 5 min walk of 2 different subway stops. If you are looking to stay in New York on a budget...this is perfect. If you are looking for anything extra...look elsewhere.
