Niko is a breath of fresh air in NYC! We didn't quite know what to expect as two women traveling to NYC and staying in a man's house. But let me tell you....Niko's house is SPOTLESS! Our room was sooo cute, he even had FRESH tulips on our table! It's those personal touches that really explain how great this overall stay was. We felt right at home, truly! We met Niko the second day and he was eager to provide any info we needed on places to eat or visit. On a side note, parking was not an issue for us, we found parking both nights on the street in front of Niko's house, HOWEVER, you MUST move your vehicle by 8 am as the signs say or it will be towed! We woke up late and the car was gone. $185 to get it out of the impound lot and $65 for the parking ticket! BUT, if you ever find yourself in this position LEAVE the car in impound for the day and enjoy the sites! Your paying for it anyway, at it's a safe place for your vehicle to be. HIGHLY recommend staying with Niko!
