10/10!!
Rick is the best host I have stayed with ... I entered his apartment as a paying-guest and left as a friend. The apartment is sweet ... and the massive room one gets in the basement is sweeter. 5 star accommodation through and through. One and a half baths ... a massive sofa, a comfy bed, a super sound system, a well stocked fridge and a host who is more than willing to go that extra mile to ensure 'service delivery'.
My experience in NYC was better because of Rick. Hopefully next time I will get to meet David as well. Go for this option and you are guaranteed a great time.
