My experience with Paul was fantastic. Communication was fast and easy, he was flexible with our constantly changing plans and he was super nice. Check in/out was simple and the price was great.
The apartment itself is a good size by city standards. The train is literally outside the living room window, but if you don't mind the noise it's still a comfortable area to relax or visit with friends. The building and the apartment is decorated with unique, original pieces of art - very cool. It is not fancy or updated, but it is clean and cozy! The beds are comfortable, the shower is hot and water pressure is awesome. Easy access to public transit makes for a quick trip to Manhattan and there are plenty of corner stores/restaurants nearby.
The only downside is that there is no cable.. but if you're coming to the area to sight see - you really don't spend much time in the apt anyway. ;)
I would absolutely stay at Paul's place again!
