I loved staying with Charis! Her apartment is super nice and cozy and the room is decorated really cute. I stayed with her for nearly two months while I transitioned to the city and it was great. You're super close to the subway, as well as the grocery store, laundromat and places to eat. (Sals Pizza down the street has A+ garlic knots). The area is also safe and I never once felt uncomfortable walking around the area at night or by myself.
Maslow, her cat, is very sweet and loves to hang around as well.
The place is clean and well kept, and I helped clean the place as well, which I didn't mind as I was living there too.
Charis is the best. Super nice and helpful - I know I asked a lot of questions before and during my stay with her, but she was fine with it. We hung out some but also respected each other's spaces when it was needed or wanted.
Tl;dr
Charis is the best and her apartment is too.
