Doug is a wonderful host, and I am so thankful that I chose his listing. He is a great resource for places to visit and restaurants to eat at in the city and Brooklyn neighborhoods; he is very helpful with any questions in regards to the city, and is very easy to contact. The location is great as I was able to always make my way back to the apartment on any train without confusion. The apartment itself is lovely, especially the book-filled room. I felt very comfortable staying here during my 4 day trip. I would stay here again on my next visit to NYC!
