Chris’s place is a perfect little spot for a single or couple wanting to stay in Manhattan, but away from some of the hustle and bustle in a more residential spot. It’s super close to Tompkins Square Park (don’t miss grabbing a coffee and a bagel and sitting for a while to read or people watch!) and TONS of amazing local restaurants, cafes, bars and shops.
The apartment itself is cozy, bright and full of fun decor! There’s a small sofa and a comfy full-size bed. I was there in Spring, so I got to wake to the lovely chirping of birds every morning too (another benefit of being near the park)! The kitchen is stocked with actual cookware, dishes and coffee makers, and there’s a grocery store a few blocks away. So it’s perfect if you want to cook, as well. You’ll also get plenty of towels, soaps and antibacterial cleaners. It is his home, so it’s made for actually living there. 😊
I worked remotely from the apartment a few days as well; the internet is very reliable and the other tenants in the building are quiet and considerate.
And Chris is a terrific host! Answers any messages quickly. I had a little bit of trouble figuring out how to turn the lock the first time I used it 😆, but Chris was right there to figure it out.
Loved my stay here, highly recommend!
