Our host Nicholas is a very nice person. He is also easy-going and welcoming. we had breakfast with him day and had wonderful time talking about a lot of interesting things (habbits in NY, in Staten Islands, his life, our lives, where we can go during the stay). He is also very discreet in the apartment with tourists and like to receive them . We highly RECOMMEND HIM . We recommend also to visit NY which is a terrific city. Can't bother you there really!!!!
