Celin is a wonderful host, and his lovely apartment is everything he promised it would be. (I wondered if the apartment would live up to the amazing photos, and it does). The afternoon we arrived he offered us some delicious food he was making and we had a nice chat. He was always reachable if we needed anything, and encouraged us to use the place as our own. To this end, Celin also provides plenty of room in the kitchen and bathroom for his guests to store food/toiletries, so you feel more like someone who lives there than someone just passing through.

This neighborhood is a great place to stay- the ABCD subway is super convenient for pretty much anywhere you want to go (15-20 minutes to midtown). The block is lovely and quiet as well- certainly one of the prettiest blocks in Hamilton Heights-Sugar Hill. I would definitely recommend Celin's place to friends and family coming into town.
