Gerald was a great host. He was very friendly and very easy to communicate with before and during the trip. His place was inviting, the room is spacious, and the bed is very comfortable. Gerald's guidelines were very easy to follow, and made the place feel safe and clean. My ONLY complaint - and this is more of a guideline for travelers that may be like me, than a complaint on Gerald or his place - is that I am hot natured in general....so after a long day in the summer I like coming in to a cool place. Gerald does provide cooling fans in the bedroom but after being out all day it takes a while for me to cool down, so I was still pretty warm until a few hours into the night. AGAIN, this isn't Gerald's fault per se and I didn't mention anything to him about it, because not everyone walks 20 miles in a day when they're in NY like I do. HA. If you have a chance and need a place, I would still recommend Gerald.
