I have seen him a few times but not recently. I never detected any hygiene issues. He gives a good massage with nice sensual elements. He is a nice person, but can be difficult to schedule with. I asked him more than once to let me know when he planned to be back in NYC and he did once, but the times he was available did not work for me. During his limited time here, he had no evening appointments available and was only open certain limited times on weekdays, which is hard for those with jobs or in locations not convenient to his studio. I got the feeling that he was just trying to fill gaps in his schedule. This happened more than once, so I eventually gave up trying to schedule with him. But It was a good experience, which was why I wanted to repeat.
