Takeshi's place was cozy, comfortable and super tidy. Takeshi himself is very polite, friendly and accommodating. It was an absolute pleasure to be hosted by him and I will definitely be staying with him again the next time I come back to NYC.
Additionally, there are tons of great vegan (and non vegan) food spots that are within a 10min walking distance. I was very happy to have enough options be able to try a different place every day.
