Niko is simply a fantastic host. He communicated well and super quickly before, during, and after my stay. His place is exactly as described, and is perfectly set in the middle of it all in NYC. The place is definitely on the small side and there's no livingroom, but if you're like me you'll be spending most of your time out in the city, then that won't be an issue - it's plenty big enough for one or two people to stay comfortably. Everything was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and Niko provided everything I could have needed (towels, wifi password, extra soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc). The place is on the third floor and there's no elevator, which is pretty standard in Manhattan but something to consider if you have a hard time with stairs. Finally: the place was remarkably quiet for where it's located. Bottom line: if you're looking to stay right in the heart of NYC and you just need a quiet bedroom and a good bathroom with a friendly host, Niko's should be on the top of your list.
