Nicholas was a very forthcoming, generous host. He gave us great tips about places to eat and what to do on NYE. He was always available for any possible issues. His place is very well accessible, as the ferry runs frequently (every 15 or 30 mins, all night long for free) and the bus brings you right up to the building's front door. It takes the ferry around half an hour to dock onto Manhattan but the ride is worth it; you get a great view of the skyline and the statue of liberty. Nicholas offered us towels and a hair dryer, as well as adapters. The temperature during night-time was a bit tricky, as the heater didn't run perfectly - at times it would work overtime (in which case you can simply open up the window) and at others it wouldn't work (which, unfortunately, in winter was not ideal). To be on the safe side pack some warm pajamas :) Nicholas made us feel welcome and communication worked perfectly fine. Thank you, Nicholas, for welcoming us into your home!
