Chris' apartment is a great way to experience NYC life with some extra breathing room compared to Manhattan. It's a one-bedroom with a large, open living room and a decently sized bathroom and is very spacious, with lots of natural light throughout the day and great use of space that makes for plenty of storage options. Everything was clean and just as the pictures showed. There's AC, Wi-Fi, towels, sheets, everything that covers your basic needs. Great energy, too!
The building is nice and welcoming, with plenty of amenities such as a laundry room and a gym on the ground floor. It's located in a great, vibrant neighborhood, with a well-stocked deli just steps away from the entrance and lots of other stores, food options, green spaces and other great spots within walking distance. The building is just off the Cross Bronx, so there is some traffic noise, but if you're not the type of person who's sensitive to that, it's not an issue at all.
There's a train station down the street served by the 2 and 5 trains, so Manhattan is only about a half hour away.
Chris was a kind and accomodating host every step of the way, flexible regarding checking in and checking out, and also responsive and easy to talk to.
We stayed there for 3 weeks and had a very pleasant experience from beginning to end. Would definitely recommend it and will happily consider it again in the future!
