George is a personable and thoughtful host: breakfast with fresh fruit and coffee, hand-written notes with suggestions of places to see and things to do and many helpful tips along the way. He is also an authentic New Yorker and tour guide, who has lived and worked there for many years, and who is proud of his city and knowledgeable of its history.

Staying with George was part of a memorable New York experience for us. The small, but neat and accommodating, apartment is in an 1890 tenement building right near Times Square. It was a great place to walk to shows and boat tours, with easy access to transit to anywhere else. You are immersed in the City the moment you step out the door.
