I must start with Donavan, he was very professional, responsive and very accommodating. When I reached out to Donavan prior to my arrival he responded within hours, upon my arrival he called me and walked me on accessing the apartment, when we got there he had instructions on wi-fi; directions to the train station, and recommendations for the city. During our stay Donavan checked in with me a few times to ask how everything was going. The apartment was awesome; the bedrooms, living area is very spacious and the kitchen has everything you need with all up to date furniture and appliances. We actually went to the roof top and sat out there for awhile and on the stoop where we were able to chat with neighbors.
The neighbors were very friendly, we spent a lot of time at the local deli's (food is amazing, I recommend Crown Chicken). We had about a 10 minute walk from the apartment to the subway on Pennsylvania Ave everyday. The subway is the BEST way to travel in NYC, the people were very friendly and helped us get from Brooklyn to Harlem, Times Square, Central Park and China Town.
Overall, this place is a great value for your dollar. Donavan is an excellent host as he is engaged from the time you book his place, even if your trip is 2-3 months out. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area.
