We wanted to visit New York for 2 days (1 night). We saw Niko's ad and thought the location was good. After becoming familiar with different parts of New York, I can now say it wasn't a good location but a GREAT one! Many shops, restaurants, markets are very close by and Time Square was no more than a 10-minute walk. Niko was a great host, very informative, helpful and kind. The bedroom was cute; I liked the interior design of the room and it looks exactly like in the pictures. We enjoyed getting our morning bagels from the shop next door, and it was easy for us to get around to everywhere we had planned to visit from his apartment.
When you travel to a city you aren't familiar with, location means everything and we appreciated being able to just walk everywhere! We only took the metro once to go to South Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty.
We enjoyed our stay at Niko's and would recommend our friends to stay there.
