Pat is a great guy, you could tell he really cares. The place is located in a very nice area near major attractions that tourist should checkout prior to leaving NYC. We got the bigger bedroom, and I really enjoyed my stay with my son. The bed was very comfortable, and his linen were clean and comfy. There is an AC, and fan in the room. Prior to arriving Pat did specify his shower preference, which did not interfere with mine since I am pretty adaptable to the situation my son and I both are. We had no problem with showering or using the restroom when it came to other guest in the home, and Pat has the restroom stocked with toilet paper, and other things one may need. I didn’t spend time in his kitchen or living room area, but it is so clean and nice. I didn’t have any problems with the area both my son and I were out past 10pm our first night.
The only downside I have with Pats place is that it is on the 5th floor (which helps you get a quick workout in), but if you are coming alone I would suggest packing light. My son enjoyed the stairs since I was carrying 2 bags, and a stroller I felt they were never ending. No elevators. I did get over this quickly, and got used to it.
Pat responded quickly to my questions about the city, and how to get around. I thought that was very sweet of him. He went out of his way during his busy day to ensure I had proper directions.
I hope to come back to NYC one day again, and when I do I hope Pat is still hosting his place because I would definitely like to stay again.
