My host was always very quick to respond to my messages before the stay. He also made it easy for me to find the place. I felt comfortable staying at his place and he was always helpful to answer questions. Despite not being very talkative, he always gives great advice when asked.
The place itself looks exactly as it does on the pictures. Very clean and also has a comfortable bed. I stayed there during the very cold winter, but inside it was always nice and warm. The location is also great, very close to the columbus circle, shops, bars, subway, central park and 10minutes walk from times square.
If you like the convenient location and also to be left doing your own thing without expecting too much interaction with your host, this place is perfect.
