    So brave that you actually slept in the bed at Bowery grand hotel, I was looking for cheap stays in New York for a couple nights and was appalled by the reviews, I was so shook that there were so many things wrong there ! Excellent video, though I do think the most expensive hotel obviously seems overpriced, no doubt you could get everything you are looking for at a better price.

    Loving the video so far. The quality is awesome. I also just wanted to give you a video idea, can you do a living like *insert celebrity name here* video, some suggestions would be The Rock, Ali Abdaal (King of productivity), yourself? And honestly any other celebrities you can think of. If you could that then it would great, but I understand if you have bigger ideas, maybe on a rainy day you could film these. Thank you for the amazing quality content and have a great day.
