Edward was great. He worked with me to find a good check in time to accommodate both of our travel plans and was a really great guy to talk to, even though we never had the pleasure of meeting in person. He seems really nice. The apartment was in a fantastic location for the price - plenty to do nearby and easy to get to other parts of the city as well. The room is in a basement apartment = absolutely no natural light. It also seemed to be more humid inside the apartment than outside, which was surprising every single time I got back. However, there is a window ac unit in the kitchen that worked and successfully cooled the place down. The bathroom wasn't that clean, and you had to walk through the garbage courtyard thing to get to the front door. However, it was easy to look past all of this for the price/location. This room would be best for people who want a convenient, cheap location in Manhattan and only need a place to sleep and leave their belongings. Overall it was a fantastic choice for me.
