Claudius is a gracious host who made sure we knew where everything was in the apt. He is very responsive by texting if there are any concerns or needs. He charges $40 each way for airport transportation, which included him lifting our very heavy bags upstairs and down..a bargain! The apt. is a bit dark since it's in the basement. The bed was comfortable, but since it was practically on the floor, it was hard for me to get up and down (I am older with bad knees, so not Claudius's fault, just would have been nice to know bed is a very low platform type.). The apt. is located near a grocery store, a diner, and a train platform that doesn't run frequently but will get you into Manhattan and back quickly. It was nice to be located close to airport and be able to get to Manhattan reasonably.
