I cannot even imagine my visit without having stayed with Eric. He is not only a wonderful host, he is a brilliant and charming man and a fabulous tour guide. He immediately made me feel at home in his beautifully decorated apartment in Harlem. Eric gives so much attention to detail and as a guest, you profit from his experience hosting visitors from all over the world. After our walking tour of Harlem, I felt an even greater appreciation for the rich history of the area. Getting to and from Midtown or Downtown from his place was easy and I had great conversations with people while riding the subway. Not only did I have a great host in Eric, I also felt like I had made a new friend and it made traveling alone much less daunting than it would have been. Every evening, I would look forward to coming back "home" to my wonderful host. We had great conversations about history (ask him about the book he is writing!), theater, comedy, in fact, just about everything! I recommend staying with Eric from the bottom of my heart and I hope to see him again! - Nina (born in Detroit and living in Basel, Switzerland)
