Chris's place was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. The check-in and check-out process was very easy. The space was small, but Chris did a great job at making the place cozy and welcoming. Chris was also very responsive and kind. The bed was very comfortable and there was a heater to keep us warm which was great! Chris provided bagels, English muffins, and cream cheese along with water bottles which was very kind of him. The location was fantastic - it made the place very worthwhile. Only a five minute walk to the Subway! Although it wasn't the fanciest, Chris's place was perfect for what I was looking for - a place for two students to stay for their short trip to NYC. I would definitely recommend to other student-travelers or to those looking for an affordable place to stay in the Lower East Side. My only small complaints are that it would be nice to have a table/coffee table of some sorts and the walls are a bit thin so you can hear people in the hallway occasionally. However, neither of these things interfered drastically with my stay. Thank you Chris for being a fantastic host!
