Kay is a courteous and helpful host. He helped me carry my stuff from the street to my room when I checked in. He generally stays out of your way unless you would like to get to know him better. He will let you know what you need to know and you can ask him anything. He is flexible and will generally accommodate. I had to shorten my original 2 month stay midway, and he agreed with no need for discussion. Just let him know any issues.
The apartment itself is clean and maintained. The kitchen and bathroom are usually stocked and you can cook with your own food. I brought my own cooking materials but I’m sure Kay would let you use whatever he had if you asked. Kay provides you with a set of towels when you arrive. And the room is as advertised.
The location is convenient. The Nostrand ave subway stop is right at the corner of the block 1 minute away and you can reach anywhere in the city from here. There can be some shady people and scammers on the street though. One guy tried to get me to buy him baby formula a few days into my stay. You just have to remember you’re in NYC and beware of scams and you’ll be ok. Sometimes the neighbors can be loud too. The whole apartment building had a loud party right under my window one Sunday late into the night, but I doubt this is a regular occurrence.
Would stay at Kay’s again if I had to!
