I was in New York for 4 nights with a good friend of mine. We found Ephraim's place and decided to book. This was a great decision on our part because Ephraim was such a gracious host. He kept constant communication with us prior to our stay. When we arrived, he met us at the door, and welcomed us as if we had been long time friends. His place is well decorated, clean, and comfortable. The bed was soft and plush, his couch gives you a second place to sleep, and he has plenty of desk space for your belongings. He pays attention to detail....as he has a movie collection available, wifi, soft towels, a nice clothes rack, and a cool fridge with water available. Also, the neighborhood was very friendly. I highly recommend staying here and would return if given the chance. It was a great stay.
