I stayed Eric's place for a week and it was wonderful time! Eric is always quick to response, helped me out when I ask things, and gave me total privacy. The neighborhood is well known the Polish community and it felt very safe for a solo female traveller like me. I came back by the subway around 11pm after watching a musical one day and it was okay. I love the kitchen too! There are local grocers like Met Foodmarkets(closer) and CTown(organic & more products) so I could get fresh grocery items. The basic condiments and sauces helped me to cook meals, and having a Brita water filter was a plus - I didn't have to buy bottled water. If I could have a chance to visit NY again, I will definitely stay Eric's place again. Thank you Eric!
