Hello N,
Thank you for your prompt reply! (It's about 4 am here).
I'm fine with that. Could you please let me know how I might make the deposit? I'm currently located in XXXX and the only feasible way seems to be paypal? I would be happy to make the full payment through paypal.
I do have a pay pal account but i have a temporarily problem with my pay pal account so i can not accept fund, i assure you that you will enjoy your stay in my apartment.
You will need to transfer the deposit via Money Gram but i will forward you an agreement and booking form to fill the form and return it with payment, you will meet me on your arrival face to face so that i can give you the keys of the apartment and show you around.Once i hear from you i will forward you the agreement and booking form.
At least, that was until I did a brief google and found out that 233 Bleecker St is actually - here or more accurately - this
