I did not have the chance to meet Julian in person, however he was really responsive before and during my reservation, answering to all my questions and checking to make sure that everything was alright during our stay.
The apartment was great and exactly how you see it in the pictures. We enjoyed the DVD collection a lot, and the bed was really comfy, great to get rest after a day sightseeing. The area is how Julian describes it. Amazing! The coolest neighborhood in NYC, full of nice bars, restaurants and shop. The street is really quiet and also safe to go out in the evening. One of my best stay with Airbnb!
