I stayed with Chris when I was visiting my daughter at NYU. The location in East Village is only steps away from NYU as well as close to the MTA and the all amenities the East Village has to offer. Chris is a very gracious host (even helped me lug a huge bag for daughter down 5 flights of stairs to the cab) and I felt like I was staying with a friend as opposed to renting a room. WiFi worked perfectly and the guest room also has a large flat screen TV. I'll stay with Chris the next time I visit my daughter at NYU.
