Richard was an awesomely accommodating host. I was able to book even on extremely short notice, and all communication with him was immediate. His place is fantastic - a wonderfully eclectic and sunny getaway from the hustle of the city. The sleep space is a comfortable airbed in the music room - which is isolated from much of the other living quarters with the exception of the kitchen and bathroom (railroad design.) I'm 6'10, and fit/slept perfectly comfortably. The neighborhood is a friendly and family-dominated area, with the L train under a five minute walk away. Richard was extremely attentive to my comfort, questions, or needs. He provided not only fantastic insight about the neighborhoods of the city and history, but plenty of fantastic anecdotes about years of working as a musician and his own travels. I highly recommend this space.
