Boris is a great host. Always nice and approachable, he responded immediately when I had questions. The instructions were very clear and there are not surprises; you get exactly what is shown. I liked the studio. It was spacious enough to feel homey. I stayed in the winter, so I spent a fair amount of time indoors and it was agreeable. The studio is well equipped and is kept very clean. I loved the location too. It’s not noisy and close to everything. There are good restaurants and bars in the area, plus the Tompkins park. The façade of the building and the staircase are maybe unglamorous, but it’s NYC. Once you enter the apartment you can see that the quality is inside.
