Ivan is a great host, always responsive and helpful. He answered my messages usually within couple of minutes. We had good communication.
This particular listing is a bit below my expectations for a few reasons.
1: the 3rd bedroom is very small. The bed alone takes up almost all usable space. If you want to use all 3 bedrooms, keep that in mind.
2: the other two more spacious bedrooms have windows facing the street. The windows doesn’t do much to isolate traffic noise. I have deep sleeps, but the other guest didn’t sleep well because of traffic noise.
3: this place feels old, no elevator to get you to 4th floor
To the upside, this listing has its pros. It’s cozy, the warning device did a good job keeping all the rooms warm even in December. It’s location is close to a few restaurants and the Penn station for metro and trains. 2 out of its 3 bedrooms are spacious (they are next to street)
So I would give a 5 star for the host, a 3 star for this listing because of its pros and cons.
