Kristian is a wonderful host, welcoming us when we arrived and giving us tips on sightseeing. The apartment is beautiful and very large. It is less than 2 blocks from the A train, in a pretty residential area with a lot of interesting history. Fresh Direct delivers groceries, and Kristian is helpful with delivery advice, and the corner store has staples as well. The apartment is fully stocked with linens and dishes etc. and Kristian is responsive and easy to reach if you need any advice. It is in a historic area with many brownstones, and it is an interesting part of New York's social and cultural history. It is easy and quick to reach museums and famous sites in Manhattan, since the express train stops every few minutes at the station. I highly recommend Kristian's home for a visit to New York, especially for families -- if furnished beautifully and he is a really gracious and welcoming host.
