My experience with Chandle was absolutely first class. He is a magnificent welcoming host, his knowledge of the city and access to resources is excellent and he was very generous with his help. The room was exactly as specified, small but comfortable with a nice REAL bed. The location just a few steps from the 45th St subway station is excellent for connecting to the Metro transportation network. Contrary to the Park Slope area where I was headed for a family gathering, there was relatively easy access to on-street parking, a good feature since I had driven to my destination. Chandle is engaging and broadly knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects, has an interesting life history; a delightful conversationalist. I have made a new valued friend!
