Ben is extremely accommodating and welcoming! Very communicative. He honestly treats you like a family member. I am sure I'll be staying again at some point and would highly recommend it. The home is exactly like the pictures and I was surprised by how comfortable the bed was. There are plenty of local food options, and the Subway station to get anywhere else in NY is literally one block away across the street. If you need him he's very responsive literally 24hrs a day. Someone else had locked themselves out of their room at 1am and he came to the Airbnb just to open the door for them. He's truly everything you'd want in a host!!
