James is an outstanding host. He answers your messages on the spot, very clear and informative. Attentive, one can tell that he really cares about the guests. He provide a lot of helpful information about places to eat, and every detail of transportation in the area. We really had a great time visiting NYC thanks to the comfort provided by him and his place. The apartment is spotless, plenty of space to chill, to cook, even if you don't feel to go out. It is very quiet, and the neighborhood is safe place to walk around. Having a door code helps a lot so you don't deal with cards or keys that you can lose on your daily routine. The apartment has all the necessary utensils to cook, wide open. I highly recommend to check this place out on your trip to NY, transportation from there to Manhattan is just 30 minutes. An amazing place, with a wonderful host.
