Chris was a great host. It was highly appreciated that any concerns I raised were resolved in a timely manner. The flat has been through a recent renovation and was clean. There were quite a few amenities in the local area for breakfast such as 'Tasty Bagels' and 'Dunkin Donuts' which was quite convenient. For lunch and dinner, I mainly ate in the city but there were various restaurants nearby which would help during meal times if you were local. There were also a large CVS nearby which helped to top-up on forgotten travel items such as tea (coffee was provided by the host but I am not coffee drinker) or other food items such as snacks. As advised, the local train station was only a 5 minute walk away and hard to miss as you can see the train path as you enter the high street. Additionally, it was about a 45 minute direct train ride to 42nd street in the city which was great as the NYC transit can be confusing at times (transferring can be a nightmare, so it was great that the D train stops at key tourist locations like Grand Street (Chinatown), Broadway (SoHo), 34th street (Macy's), 42nd street (Time Square), 50th street (Rockafella Center). Sleeping was great (apart from the first night due to jet lag and getting used to the low ambient noise - by the second night, I was sleeping like a baby). The bed was a bit firm but it didn't affect my sleep and the pillow was a fluffy marshmallow which was perfect for me. There were two pillows so I am sure one of them will tickle your fancy. Overall, Chris was a great host and swift in his replies when I raised concerns. The location of the flat was in a excellent and had a lot of amenities just a stone's throw away. The flat was comfortable and spacious and had a fully functional kitchen if you choose to cook. I had an enjoyable stay and I would stay again.
