I had a nice stay with Angelo. He is incredibly friendly and a very generous host. As soon as I arrived, he'd made dinner, offered me some (as he did on multiple occasions as well as telling me to help myself to the fridge), and helped me with a bag. His communication was good throughout my stay and he provided great recommendations for local restaurants, bars, and other necessities, all which are very close by.
His place is nice and generally as described. It's a comfortable, cozy, and clean room for someone who's looking for a place to crash while they're mostly out and about. The place literally couldn't be closer to public transportation which can take you anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn easily.
If I had anything to complain about, unfortunately the place is SO close to public transportation (you literally look outside the window and see the train and train tracks) that it is incredibly noisy with trains constantly passing by. That said, he does provide ear plugs and when you close the window it is fine and manageable. The other thing is that it is a 4th floor walk up, which is not bad at all, but if you have a lot of luggage or have issues getting up steps just something to be aware of.
That said, I had a good experience and Angelo was great to both my dog and I.
Thanks, Angelo!
