Ben is a one of a kind host. He goes above and beyond for his guests (have roommates at the moment). The other reviews are spot on. Also, the location is perfect, approx 15-20 min metro ride into Manhattan. 3-5 min walk to the Marcy line. I ran out of clothes and took and paid for self service laundry late at night. Easily the best host I’ve encountered & I’m well traveled.
