John was an excellent host and his place was immaculate, comfortable and safe. When we first arrived John met us at the curb and was pinnacle to the success of our ticket free parking! His apartment building was very classy, as was his apartment. We had a nice view of the street as well as the park. Our room/bed was spacious, clean, private and very comfortable. John thoughtfully provided drawer and closet space for our clothing and luggage. On our "welcome tour" of the apartment we were made comfortable to use the kitchen and appliances and given information about food and beverages to be found locally as well. The bathroom was very clean and all that you could need traveling, again John thoughtfully provided towels, travel size shampoos and such. Aside from the apartment, John was a wealth of knowledge about NYC and recommended places to eat, shop, visit etc. I felt extremely comfortable talking with him and asking questions about NYC. He was accommodating and very thoughtful. At the end of our trip I felt as though I had just stayed with a good friend for the weekend. Many, many thanks for this opportunity, John! -T&Z Riley
