A great place to stay. We had originally looked for accommodation in Manhattan. And while there were one or two places in Manhattan that were marginally cheaper than Chris's place, many were more expensive. And Chris's place is priced at the going rate for NYC stays, is super clean, tastefully furnished and decorated, naturally light as it's a top floor in a brownstone with windows and skylights, it's safe, it's quiet for NYC, and feels like a real home. I can't emphasise enough how comfortable it was, and how after a long day at the Met, Central Park, or elsewhere in Manhattan, it felt so good to get into the apartment - cook a meal, put our feet up, and watch Netflix. That was a nice touch. Brooklyn also turned out to be a great solution. On the subway we were at Times Square in half an hour or so. And downtown Brooklyn, e.g. Smith Street, and Atlantic Avenue, turned out to give us so many cafe and shopping options, not to mention live music. And we found an exquisite, juicy Pastrami Brisket on Rye in nearby Bed Stuy (David’s Brisket House) at half the price of Manhattan, and there was the added fun of taking the commuter ferry from Wall Street Pier 11 back to Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6 on a couple of days, which gave us incredible views of Manhattan (and Brooklyn) for just a subway fare ($2.75). The bed and the sofa were both really good quality and very comfortable. Air con kept us cool. The bathroom was so bright from the skylight and clean. Kitchen spacious and perfect for cooking. Good Latino and other cafes and pizza just round the corner in Grand Ave and Classon Ave. Bravo supermarket a short walk. Had all we needed - fantastic Haitian mangoes! Fresh herbs. Other supermarket The Food Emporium a couple of minutes along Lafayette. This place is highly recommended. Thanks for a great stay, Chris.
