Doug was a great host, and his place is quiet, comfortable and in a great location. I was in town for work in downtown Manhattan, and the commute took me roughly 20 minutes each way by subway. The room is small, but the bed is comfortable and the setting (books lining both walls, interesting antiques on the shelves) was unique and comfortable. Doug keeps things clean and quiet, so I slept soundly, and his back yard is lovely. Highly recommend.
