I stayed with a friend at Olivier's for three weeks, it was our first expirience with Airbnb and it couldn't be better! Olivier was a really great host, he let us by our own way but at the same time he made sure that everything was going great for us. He was really friendly and openminded. - we even hanged out for diner with him in a top notch pizza place and it was so fun.
The house was very clean and comfy, really well connected with the metro to Manhattan. The neightbourhood was shocking at the first time but definitely it's a really safe. It's a convenience place as you have cheap supermarkets just around the corners, and good cafes on the way to the metro.
We totally recommend this place to spend some days in New York!
Ps: We felt in love with Hugo, it's so cute and fun!!! :)
