Kirill's place is exactly why I love real Airbnbs (ie. not just super sterile vacation homes or hotels). You get a chance to get a glimpse into another person's life which, let's face it, is probably more interesting than your own. Kirill's apartment makes you feel like you're staying with a cool 20-something artist. It's eclectic, interesting, and full of personality. It was also much larger than I expected for a NYC apartment, with tall ceilings and plenty of room to relax in the living room and take in all the interesting objects in the space. The AC worked well (it was a hot weekend), the bed was comfortable and check in/out was a breeze. The building was a little noisy with comings and goings, but hardly unexpected given the location (ie. it's worth it). I'd recommend this to anyone who likes something a little different and gets a kick out of discovering interesting spaces. Thank you, Kirill!
