Takeshi is a great host and for anyone potentially put off by the fact that he will occasionally come by to use his office you really shouldn’t let that be a deterrent for choosing this spot. I was here for a week and barely saw him but when I did he was always kind and easy going. The apartment is clean, cute, and cozy with great water pressure which is honestly saying a lot for this price in NYC. It’s also in a great location and easy to walk around!
