We loved everything about Boris and his place. If i am back to NY i will surely try to stay at his place again. Boris is very kind person and extremely interesting person. He treated us very warmly - introduced us to some of his students, we giving us tea in the evening together with very interesting talks, providing the tips on where to go for better shopping, dinning etc. On top Boris has adorable cats:)) We felt very comfortable, room and bed is very good. I was hosted by 3 different people with airbnb and stay with Boris was the best our of it. I don't think my travel would be as excited as it was if we would stay at the place of smb else. Thank you!
