The room in James apartment was as described. The Queen sized bed was perfect for two people and very comfortable. The bathroom and the shower were fine. James has put a lot of effort into welcoming us as guests. He gave us directions where to find everything you need for a nice stay in NYC. The house rules were easy and perfectly described. Unfortunately we've never met James in person during our stay but he still kept contact with us so everything was perfect. The neighborhood seemed safe and the apartment is just minutes away from the next metro station.
