Chris is a great host and very respectful of your privacy whilst in his home. The location of his apartment is fantastic on 13th Street - 14th St is a major street and contains a major subway station - lots of cafes/restaurants in the area. The down side for me was the heat, unfortunately I was there at the hottest time in summer and the apartment is very warm. Also I knew the apartment was on the 5th floor and even though Chris was fantastic and carried my heavy suitcase up/down, I'd probably look for an apartment on a lower floor next time.
