All the great things that everyone else has said about Chris' place are more than factual. First off, Chris is a very personable, available and helpful host. Secondly, the apartment is super clean and well equipped with just about everything you can think of you'd need (and of course the snacks were an added bonus). Also an important note - the bed is very comfortable. Thirdly location - within a 10 minute walk radius you will find everything including subway connections to everywhere in Manhattan (we frequently used the A,C,F,Q,N,R at 3 different stations in the area). Great restaurants, corner stores, coffee bistros, bakeries and bagel shops. Tons of CITIBike stations everywhere also. Super safe feeling at all hours. A calming neighborhood after a day in the big city!
