Chikie is THE host. He was very welcoming. On the day we arrived he took us for a walk around the neighbourhood , showed us where to shop. He was absolutely friendly and gave us dozens of tips for our visits. He was always available and deeply comitted to our well-being. We really felt we were staying at a friend's! He even invited us for breakfast the day before we left. His apartment was clean and spacious and so was our room. He even had a pad for us to use. The location is perfect since the subway is just a few blocks away and the line takes you right in Manhattan.
Chikie is an amazing host and we really want to thank him for the great week we spent thanks to him and his useful advise.
