Raf was a great host!
Pros:
Nice location at Lower East Side
The apt has fridge, shower/tub, dining table
The room has closet, small bed-side table, a bed (mattress was too soft for me)
A/C, but it's loud
Washer/Drier in the building
Cons:
The room is small (but it looks like it's pretty standard in NYC)
A/C is loud
Bed sheet has stains, but seemed clean
No bathroom rug
