For all those people wishing to visit most of the delights of The Big Apple, this is a reasonable place to stay. The host, Nicholas, is friendly and sociable. He is one of those rare human beings filled with the milk of human kindness. His suggestions and street or road directions were well delivered and received. He is almost like a distant uncle who never gets in your way, makes you feel at home and gives you easy access to his kitchen and fridge. We stayed here for three days and enjoyed sharing stories and anecdotes with the well-travelled , life-wizened, and generous Nicholas.
