The location was wonderful-near subway stop, 2 blocks from the theater for which I had tickets, good restaurants. Kyle was not home a lot-but if I needed something he was quick to respond. Because he had other commitments, I had the apartment to myself about half the time. It was really hot while I was there, but the air conditioning worked well. There was a charming little fire escape and a tree outside my window-so a couple of mornings I had coffee out there, and no one on the very busy street below even knew I was there. He was a really helpful person if I needed something, but he left me alone if I did not need him. Kind of the perfect host, in my opinion.
