Ben was a great host, and his place is a steal. I stayed at his apartment in LES/Chinatown for a month while I searched for apartments after moving to NYC, and this is the perfect spot for anyone in a similar situation. I was able to walk to work (in FiDi), and to other fun areas of the city (Little Italy, East Village, etc), but there is also subway access close by. Though Ben was very busy during my stay, he still made a big effort to get to know me and make sure I had everything I needed. The apartment gets cleaned weekly which is a plus, and it's air conditioned, which makes a huge difference during the summer. Highly recommend staying here.
