Brian is an excellent host. He communicated with us to tell the necessary things about the department and every thing was very clear and exactly as he told us. We also could have contact with him in case that we had any problems. The communication is by chat, because he does not live there so you are not going to see him. Also in the apartment is living another guest, but we didn´t saw him. The listing description is exactly as it is in real...The neighborhood is the best place you could stay. There are plenty of bars near the apartment, you are very near Soho, china town and little Italy. Also you are very near to the subways. Thank you, Pía
