Chris really was the perfect host. He was always responsive, always helpful, always easy-going and attentive, but definitely let me have my privacy.

The room was very clean and welcoming. There's a desk and a TV and a bed and a table.

The room is very spacious with high ceilings. The current photos really don't do it justice. There *is* a bedroom door and it does close (it's hard to ascertain this from the photos) and it's very private. It has a nice view of this East Village street and the neighborhood is awesome and central to everything, incredibly easy to get to.

I stayed here for an entire week during a workshop and interviews for grad school and honestly, if I hadn't had this safe haven in the country's biggest city, I'm not sure how I would have otherwise fared. But I had a great week.

Ask Chris anything. He answers promptly and thorougly. And really is just a terrific person. It can be a nerve-racking thing to hurl yourself across the country and book an apartment, but with Chris, you're in great hands.
