I stayed for 5 days in Rodney's apartment in NY
Although no reviews were there at that point a room was as advertised - No surprises there. Equipment and furnishing a bit better than expected.
One thing that in my mind was below the standard was cleanness of the apartment. It might also be since I am heavily allergic to dust and therefore am used to quite high standard in that regard.
One thing that absolutely stood out though was hospitality of Rodney - Absolute treasure of a man. Whatever the request or question was he was always there to respond or solve the issue.
Because of that I would recommend staying with him to anyone :)
