The apartment, my bedroom and Crysdian were just overwhelmingly great! And, even better than described!
Crysdian was helpful and kind throughout my visit and he checked with me daily to make sure I had everything I needed. He is also great company when time permits, although he is quite busy at times, and Henri is the most mellow and sweet animal I have ever encountered. Being part of their loving home really made me feel like I was with old friends.
The immediate area is laced with some of NYC's most magnificent parks. Inwood Hill Park, just a short walk from the apartment, is 190 acres of old growth forrest and criss-crossed by well maintained walking trails. The hills and vistas of the Hudson R. are simply breathtaking. This park is a gem for nature lovers!
And of course, Fort Tryon Park is also nearby (walking distance), and is another stunning and hilly overlook of the NJ palisades and waterfront, and it is home to The Cloisters Museum and Garden.
Fortunately for me, I was able to walk in these parks and see so much stunning scenery on this visit. It was only possible because of the location of the apartment. And, traveling to mid-town or even down-town (even Brooklyn) was easy and fast due to the express subway service.
I highly recommend Crysdian and Henri as hosts! And, the location has a lot to offer with many good restaurant choices, extremely lively bars, and easy bus and subway access.
