Ben’s place is nice and so clean. The decor and plants make it feel upscale yet homey. Great location: close to subway, restaurants, bars. It would take weeks to get though all of the local options, but what I did get to try I really enjoyed! As for Manhattan, it’s a convenient 10-15 minute subway trip. Ben offers plenty of good suggestions and is a very kind, welcoming host. Overall, it was a great stay and would definitely book Ben’s place again.
