I stayed at Rode’s place for 7 months and it was a good experience. The place is clean and Rode is a great host who provides everything that you need. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The place is walkable from the nearest station. Rode is so kind to help picking me up from the station several times in the midnight and offering to get the medicines that I needed when I was really sick one time. He is a respectful man and if you choose to stay at his place, make sure you understand his expectations since the beginning. I have to be responsible with the cleanliness of my room, but it’s easy since I got everything that I need to clean my room. Overall, staying at his place was one of my good experiences in NYC.
