I was not overly impressed with Xavier’s place, or his overall hospitality. The host appeared frustrated when I arrived in the evening and did not seem pleasant to talk to. The room is right next to the kitchen and expect noise from the street outside, a lot of noise.
The room is basic and could be cleaner, there is dust everywhere and the sheets are very worn.
The area is not extremely present, but you should be aware of that before booking. For this price, I would recommend staying closer to Manhattan.
