I learnt about John's place through previous reviews and have to say that is exactly the way we experienced our stay at CHATEAU VILLAGE. HE is a "silent" host that treats you well. There is coffee early in the morning and juice in the fridge. He also provide valuable information regarding the area, subs, restaurants, shows ect. Thank you John in contributing to an unforgettable holiday and the way you made as welcome. I highly recommend his place - location is brilliant! SOHO is definitely the best area to stay when visiting NEW YORK - it is like halfway to up-town and halfway to down-town for subs. Restaurants, bars, comedy, live music, parks in this area will cater for every individual. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE - Thank you John!
