He was a great host! I was a little skeptical at first to rent a room rather than a whole place on airbnb, being someone who values my privacy and alone time. but he made it very comfortable, kept to his own on the most part, offered some suggestions as needed and I felt free to come and go as I pleased. oh and the bed is SUPER cozy! It had me in a coma sleeping well past noon each day (who says New York never sleeps) hehe.
The location was perfection! Easily accessible from the airport by airtrain and subway and close to central park and times square. Plenty to do and see in the area. I did most my traveling in Manhattan by foot, as i love to walk and explore the city. But, there are several subways nearby and uber is always available. i never felt unsafe walking in the area at all hours of the night either.
Thank you Gerald for your hospitality (even though my darned red hair spotted your towel ...so so sorry) you were an excellent, gracious and very clean host.
Much appreciated! =)
