My stay with Crysdian was absolutely stellar. The apartment and room are exactly as listed on the site, and Crysdian was the perfect host. When I emailed, Crysdian would respond within minutes, and upon arriving he showed me around, told me about the area, and gave me the keys. I saw him a few times while there, but he was very respectful of my privacy, and was never invasive. The apartment is very chic, and well-kept, and the location is terrific. There are even bath robes and my favorite NYC soap products (Bigelow) in the room! If you're looking for a place to stay in NYC, that isn't your typical tourist-trap hotel, this is a great area to be in, as it's reminiscent of the way NYC used to be. I would stay with Crysdian again in an instant.
