Staying at Chris´s place was a really wonderful experience, the apartment is sunny, cozy and absolutely neat. Chris is very friendly, he provides all kind of helpful information either for going out ( restaurants brochures, subway map) or to make your stay comfortable with a detailed manual of house rules and info on how everything works, which becomes very handy. He even helped arrange a shuttle to JFK airport using his own computer and phone, as mine wasn't working well. I definitely recommend Chris as a host, he is open to chat and very respectful about privacy.
