My husband and I stayed with Filip the first week we moved to New York. We definitely recommend him as a host and our experience was very positive.

The neighbourhood is a little far from Manhattan, but easily by metro (stop is only five minutes away). The room is exactly how it is on the picture, clean and modern. Filip also gave us helpful guidance towards finding a place in New York.

There are also a lot of cheap eats nearby, and supermarket that is almost half the price of stuff in Manhattan (we live in Manhattan now and we really miss Brooklyn prices!), which is great if you're on a budget.

The only warning I would give is that it's a young neighborhood so there are a few parties which you might be able to hear at night. That said it's New York and I feel like it would be the case in every neighborhood.

Overall highly recommend.
