I stayed at James' place for one month and I really enjoyed the experience. Really liked the apartment (very cool building and street, super relax atmosphere and just 3 minutes walking distance to Utica stop), and also found very easy to communicate with James.
James is, indeed, a very relax person. Super welcoming but at the same time very respectful to your privacy. He always made me feel at home.
I would recommend this place to travellers that are happy to share the space (as James explains it in the description, the apartment is quiet small, so even if in terms of privacy is always ok, it is not exactly working as a private room) and who value having the opportunity of staying in this neighbourhood :)
