Doug is honestly one of the best hosts I've ever had. His brownstone's location is top notch, in a safe neighborhood (this was very important to me when I was looking since I've had a few pretty bad experiences in NY before), and has a yard (which is So Rare in NY! also sometimes the neighbors cat will come and say hi and the sound of birds chirping in the morning is beautiful to wake up to). He is the Best! Guide! you will ever meet - like he knows the subway by heart and basically has the map memorized! He's always got recs, and is always happy to answer any questions, ask away! He is very accommodating, great at communicating, and clean. I've stayed here for a month and a half and plan to stay another month and a half while I work an internship and I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful host this whole time. He's really made my experience here amazing. I will definitely be coming back!! (even if it's just to visit Doug after I find my own place in this area someday.)
