Eric's place is located in a great area, safe and fun, conveniently close to the subway that can have you in Manhattan in 30 mins. The apartment is clean and functional and Eric himself is an excellent host. He is kind and discreet, but with tons of great tips about the area and New York in general. All in all, it is excellent value for your money and if I were to go back to NY, I would always stay at Eric's place again.
