Takeshi was a great host. He was very gracious and accommodating by allowing us to drop our bags off after an early morning flight. His place is cozy and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for us. A 5 minute walk to the Delancey/Essex stops made travel by subway super easy and made our trip very affordable. The folks that hang out in front of the neighborhood corner store are harmless. A smile and "good morning" to them was always reciprocated by them.
We will definitely check the availability of Takeshi's place for future trips to NYC. 🍎
