Claude was a wonderful host! He helped us with lots of tips for the area around and was available if we needed anything. The house is perfectly situated in the upper east side of Manhattan in a quite residential neighborhood that gives you a feeling of what it is to live in Manhattan. It is walking distance from Central Park, The MET and many other local attraction. There are good transportation links as well. Right outside the house is probably the best coffee shop in NY (i.e. Oslo) that was also recommended by Claude. We would definitely recommend Claude's house to anyone who is planning to visit New York and is looking for a well located and cozy place to stay.
