Keith's place is a rare find in NYC: a two bedroom, two bath. The space is bright and located in a great area on the lower east side. As other reviewers have noted, getting in and out of the apartment is rather strange: you have to cross through a landing that includes a kitchenette and a bathroom before you reach the stairwell to his 2/2. You can't escape the feeling that you are walking through someone else's space or that at any moment, you might walk in on someone leaving the bathroom/shower. That part was unnerving, truth be told.

Insofar as the 2/2 itself, it's spacious as hell, has beautiful wood floors, decent sized bedrooms and new bathrooms. The kitchen has all the appliances you need for your stay (except an oven). While the kitchen, too, is new, it's still somewhat unfinished (sawdust in drawers).

An instruction sheet or booklet would've been helpful to learn how to operate the a/c / heating, the wifi password, explaining the strange living situation on the floor below, etc. Also, his ad says there's a rooftop deck, which is disingenuous at best considering the area where you'd access the desk is blocked by construction materials and debris.

Finally, the radiators seem to be pre-programmed to heat the apartment, which is nice, but makes a terribly loud and repeated clanging sound--as if someone is taking a wrench and banging on them. It was disturbing to say the least.

Overall, the location is nice and the spacious size of the place made our stay worth it, but Keith could take it up a notch with a few minor adjustments. He was also very flexible with check in and out and that was greatly appreciated.
