Casper's apartment is conveniently located, quiet, and comfortably sized for one or two guests (I stayed solo); three or four could work, but it'd be 'cozy' ... The neighborhood is safe, and there's a subway station (L line) around the corner -- Union Square is a few blocks over, with access to many more subway lines. The kitchen is provisioned for simple cooking; internet worked flawlessly, as did the keys/locks. Hot water went out mysteriously one morning, but I contacted Casper (who put in a call to the building's super), and by the time I returned to the apartment in the evening everything was fixed. Casper was flexible about check-in and check-out time; it turned out that the prior guests were late getting out, but storing my bag at the apartment while cleaning was completed worked out fine. I would happily stay at Casper's place again.
