Victor's place is a good crash pad in a lovely neighborhood in Nolita that you might otherwise not afford. He and his girlfriend Krystal are very friendly and welcoming. Despite being in a shared room, my privacy was respected and I was able to come and go whenever I pleased. Plus, checking in and out was able to fit my unpredictable schedule perfectly. I was able to explore much of the city easily due to the centrality of the location and close access to many public transit lines.
