They were great hosts. We flew in on a red-eye and they let us drop off our stuff early and Carsten even finished the cleaning early so we could get in an take a quick nap before zipping into Manhattan for a concert! I would for sure recommend people to take the G train to go into the city, it's significantly closer than the A and C trains. They left us a lot of good tips about where to go in the city and we are very glad we got a chance to stay there!
