Chikie's apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures. The room was perfect for our stay in New York; spacious, clean, and with a very comfortable bed after a long day in the city. Chikie was a wonderful host, very helpful and welcoming. He gave us clear directions on how to get to his apartment from where the bus dropped us off and info on local bars. Our bus departed late on Sunday night and he allowed us to leave our belongings at his apartment hours past the indicated check out time so that we could continue to enjoy the city. The neighborhood was safe to walk around at all times of the day. Definitely recommend this place for your New York stay!
