Eric’s place was the perfect place to stay during a long weekend in NYC. This ground-floor apartment is spacious & comfortable. The bed is very soft and there were brand new sheets provided. We loved having a deck and backyard; what a treat in the city! Eric was a great host who provided my husband with a great in-person check in. He gave us some great advice about areas and restaurants, and he was very prompt with communication. This area of the Bronx is quiet and peaceful at night (so different from anywhere else I’ve stayed in the city). There’s a subway spot less than 5 mins walk away and it was an easy 25-45 min subway ride to anywhere we wanted to go in Manhattan (quicker than driving in almost all cases). You do need to bring your own shampoo/conditioner which is shown in the listing but good to note. This was a more affordable often and a much more authentic option than a hotel—we happily stay again and highly recommend.
