Ivo was a great host, he was very accommodating and very helpful with the city and surrounding areas. He himself is a very nice guy, very easy to get along with and was a pleasure to be roommates with for my one month stay, I felt like I left New York with a new friend! The room is a good, comfortable size and the living room area is also nice and comfortable - bigger than anything you can find in the city. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay while also being 20-30 minutes (subway) away from the hot spots of manhattan, his apartment is a great place to stay.
