Very friendly and welcoming host, great upfront communication, I was able to check in late and store my luggage in the apartment at the day of check out. The bathroom was clean and I was able to use the kitchen in the morning. Good location of the apartment, close to central park and metro station that leads to sights in Manhattan.
There are some trade offs: the room was very tiny and bed not very comfortable, the place was a bit noisy. But I guess these are the compromises if you want to stay at an affordable place close to the centre of Manhattan.
