I cannot recommend Chris's place highly enough! I had booked an ABB for my trip to NYC that canceled on me about a week before I left. I typically only like to stay in "entire home" places, but once I was only a week out from my trip, I knew there was no way I'd be able to get one for a reasonable price. Thankfully, Chris's place was still available, and it is TRULY as close to an "entire home" experience as I've ever had in a "shared" space. It was very private!
The room was perfect, easy to control the temperature, and with THE comfiest bed I've ever slept on! When you're visiting New York, the only things you really need are a great bed, shower, and easy access to the subway. Chris's place blows all three of those needs out of the water!
I really loved staying in Brooklyn, because I'd never spent any meaningful time there, and being so close (steps!) from the Brooklyn Museum, I finally went and enjoyed it immensely! The neighborhood is VERY quiet and safe, with a lot of great restaurants nearby.
Chris's check-in instructions were the best I've ever received, with detailed explanations on each key. I am truly terrible at unlocking doors, and I greatly appreciated his careful labeling and walking through of the instructions, and I had absolutely no issues! Chris is a fantastic, responsive host, and I will definitely stay here again (if it's available!) the next time I visit New York.
