Claude's place is amazing. The location is perfect. It's away from the busy hustle and bustle of the city but not far at all. Perfect after a long day of exploring for some quiet. There are many great restaurants around the area and the plus is it's a very short walk to the Metro and just a 15 minute walk to Central Park. Be sure to check out Oslo Coffee just 2 doors down. Claude is a great host who was available at anytime. He made sure we were comfortable for our first trip to NYC.
