Came here to New York (or the States in general) for the 1st time and was warmly welcomed at Wayne's place.
Wayne is such a nice, funny and great host, there's absolutely nothing to complain about. When I was there, other guests stayed at his apartment as well and we would have conversations in the evenings and a few drinks to keep them going. I really liked the feeling of staying with other people and share my experiences with them I had made during the day or just talk about live here in the USA. But everyone would respect your need for privacy without any question if you needed it.
The room was super clean and the bed really comfortable! There's nothing to worry about the neighborhood as I wasn't troubled there for a second. I would definitely go there again, even just to hang out with Wayne once more.
