Francis was a very warm and welcoming host. He was always friendly when we encountered him, and was also very quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. As for the apartment, it is light and spacious and comfortably slept three people in separate rooms (although could have accommodated considerably more). It is nicely furnished and well-equipped, and is close to two subway stations with good transport links to Manhattan. Overall, we'd highly recommend Francis's place!
