I was in New York City for a conference in Midtown, about 25 blocks away, and I loved staying at Koichi's place and would definitely stay again. I was there for seven nights. The tight quarters/minimal room wouldn't be for everybody--and it's well described in the listing--but it suited my budget and I didn't mind in the least. Everything was clean and in order. Everything worked. Ladder and sleeping loft were fine! Wifi was fine. In-room refrigerator and microwave were fine. Never a problem with shared toilet and shower. I've had several Airbnbs in Manhattan over the years, and this was far and away my favorite. A last bonus--I came to NYC by train, and Koichi's place is an easy walk from the train station.
