Claude greeted us, was very gracious and showed us our home away from home. There were fresh flowers on the table; beverages including water, soft drinks and juice in the fridge; and treats in our private bedroom. The location was fabulous and Claude provided us with an internet hotspot that we could use while we stayed with him. Although the apartment is old and well worn it was functional; but it could use some TLC. Claude has arranged the apartment to provide guests with appropriate privacy including passage to the very small and wanting bathroom. The price was right for the location, and we enjoyed our time in Manhattan.
