Ben was a great host and very flexible. The appartement is great and exactly as described. The appartment is clean, convenient has a big kitchen and a nice bathroom. Unfortunately we were not able to join a barbecue Ben invited us for together wtih his beautiful family. As a host, Ben is extraordinary friendly and entertaining. We can highly recommend this place for a stay when visiting New York. The subway is only a ten minutes walk from the appartment and the A train takes you directly to down town Manhatten in about 15 minutes. We would certainly love to stay here again next time when visiting New York.
