Barry's home was one of the best places I've stayed at in New York. The neighborhood was quiet, there was plenty of street parking. He filled the room with plenty of snacks, drinks and other small items that made the room very convenient. A power strip to charge all my electronics as well as plug in a hair drier and straightener, toilet seat covers, soaps, lotions and plenty of other toiletries... are some examples of those items. There was a ceiling fan, he also was nice enough to leave a small heater at the door in case I was chilly. The bed was comfortable and sheets/blankets/towels were fresh. Although I didn't the pleasure of meeting Barry in person, he was quick to respond to my check in request, and the check in process couldn't have been any easier. He labled everything.. my room, my space in the fridge and all the keys required. Barry didn't even have to be present to make sure I was taken care of. That says a lot! I would recommend his home to anyone looking for a nice safe place in the Bronx.
