Chikie gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived in his Airbnb, and he was always willing to give suggestions (like for the great Italian place on the corner) and always had a smile! We really appreciated that. However, the apartment itself wasn't super clean. The kitchen specifically needs a bit more attention as well as all general surfaces. We also found the room a little noisy/bright. Nevertheless, it's quite a good value for New York and Chikie was really kind and available.
