Malik was very accommodating when we requested an early bag drop in late morning, and he also allowed an early check-in; that made our stay in NYC much easier. He was always responsive whenever we sent him a message. The place was perfectly located; it was close to many subway stations and 5 min or so walk always took us to the most convenient station that connected directly to various destinations in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I also saw a big Citi Bike station near the DeKalb subway station. Malik's place was also very clean and was equipped with many amenities including water, ice, coffee, rice, shampoo, body wash, pillows, sheets, blankets, etc. NYC was really hot (upper 90s) when we stayed there, and there was only one air conditioner in the apartment (in the main bedroom), but the other rooms had ceiling fans and we had no issues sleeping there at night. The only issue that we experienced was the internet connection. The wifi initially did not work and Malik had to call a company to fix it. It was not perfect at the time we left, but I am sure he will take care of it for the next guests. Overall, the experience was great, and I strongly recommend this place.
