I booked a room at Michael’s place in mid-September. Michael wasn’t home when I checked in, but made sure the check-in process went smoothly. I really appreciated that.
However, it seemed that the apartment hasn’t been taken care of for a very long time. There are lots of (I mean, lots of!) flies in the kitchen, bathroom, and living room. They kept getting into my bedroom through the gap of the door. It was not only annoying, but became a serious health hazard. Michael suggested me use fly tapes to catch the flies; the tapes caught like 30 flies on each of them within 30 min after being set up. I planned to stay for 2 weeks but had to cut it short after 2 days.
The place is located right next to prospect park and Q train. There was a considerable level of noise from traffic on the street and someone playing instrument upstairs.
