We stayed 12 nights at Chao place and it was really pleasant, it was like having our own private room. The room is clean with its own bathroom, Chao provides towels and a hairdryer. It is 15 min from Utica station, the area is really safe even at late night. Nice restaurants around and some delis opened 24/24.
Chao is very helpful, very warm welcome. We didnt meet him a lot but he replies very fast to all questions we got. He is very cool. His cat Franck is really friendly, he loves cuddles ; )
the room is as described in the pictures. I recommend our host definitely
