I had a really good time at Romans place. It's in a nice neighborhood, close to the subway and grocery stores.
Roman was very friendly and helpful. We had some good talks and he recommended a lot of things to do in New York and even other places in the US where he has been. Truly an amazing host all around.
Just a note for all fellow travelers, the flat is under the roof and can get quite hot in summer, but the room has an AC so cooling is no problem.
This was one of my best stays with AirBnB, I would definitely come back again.
