John & his wife are ultra responsive communicators, respectful of privacy and familial in their treatment of guests. Their child is very well-behaved, so sweet & adorable. I felt comfy and welcomed, like I was home. The room and private bathroom are immaculate. John's art gives the perfect touch to the lovely decor. There is a stovetop for cooking, and internet is provided if needed. John was very knowledgeable about diverse area-specific events & places, considerate of my safety, and even allowed me to ride with him to the market and to a dinner I had scheduled for my holiday. The property is totally secure, and I could come & go at variable hours with easy access to events I attended at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and for New Year's church mass. Local & main route buses and Kissena Park are within a block of walking distance from the house. The cost and value of my stay were great. I hope this wonderful family will host me again soon during my future visits to NYC. Thanks y'all!☺
