Chris is an excellent communicator and a very generous host. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with many thoughtful touches: a variety of snacks and beverages; bathroom toiletries; guidebooks, etc. There's quite a large tv in the living room, and a smaller one in the bedroom. Our granddaughter had fun feeding bread to the five chickens in the backyard. There was very little noise, and it is easy walking distance to restaurants, a coffee bar/restaurant, a bodega on the corner, and many other options. The Nevins St. subway stop is about a 10-min. walk away and gives access to much of Manhattan. The neighborhood is peaceful, and we enjoyed our stay.
