Chris's place is a great option for travelers on a budget who still want to be in the heart of NYC. It was just as described on the listing--not the Ritz but very cozy and comfortable. It felt like an authentic NY experience. Check in was easy and Chris was organized and prompt with communication. He had left some thoughtful touches like bagels and OJ in the fridge, umbrellas and the coat rack with coat hangers. The kitchen has basic utensils and cookware so we were able to cook eggs for breakfast and heat up things in the microwave and oven to help keep the cost of our trip down.
Overall a great experience!
