This apt is great! Christ was super communicative and really flexible and accommodating with our check in and out times. He met us within 5 minutes of us texting him that we'd arrived and he was nice enough to let us leave our bags in his place till 6 the day we were leaving so we could still do stuff without lugging suitcases around. His place is cozy, but actually pretty spacious for a bachelor! It's way nicer in person than in the photos, too. The location is ideal, as the train into Manhattan is a quarter of a block away in one direction and the train to Williamsburg (through which you can transfer directly to the train that will take you up to central park/museums) is a block in the other direction. His neighborhood is lovely, there's a great coffee shop a few doors down that has great baked goods (gluten free!) and a great pizza place right across the street (which had fantastic gluten free AND vegan pizza) and a ton of amazing brunch places within walking distance AND it's close to BAM, if you want to catch a movie. The neighborhood is really safe too, but the windows face a main street and the subway is close by so there is some city noises so if you are a VERY light sleeper bring earplugs. That said, I'm usually pretty sensitive to noise when sleeping and I had no problems.

The bed and pillows were really comfortable (and I'm a super picky sleeper), the windows are big and let in a lot of light and on top of everything Chris left us a bunch of food in the fridge that he said we were free to use, which was really nice. I would love to stay there on a future visit!

The ONLY downside was that we were there during the big snowstorm and the heater went out, but honestly I was too lazy/kept forgetting to text him to ask how to fix it (it was a bit chilly, but we weren't freezing), so it's really my fault. Apparently the heat is controlled by the building manager, and if I HAD told Chris there was a problem we could have called the building manager to fix it, so just make sure you get his number just in case.
