Al was a great host. We never had a chance to meet, but he arranged for William to take care of us while we were staying at his place. The place was charming and conveniently located a short block away from the G train. The house is old (as many in NY are), so cleanliness was a bit below what we were used to, but over all, it was comfortable. Having AC during the middle of the 4th of July week heatwave up there was definitely a plus. We had to cut our stay a day shorter, and Al was very accommodating as well.

I would highly recommend staying here.
