My BF and I really enjoyed our stay at Vaughn's place.
Pros - As a host, Vaughn was readily available without being intrusive. This is what I like in a host. He left us alone but was accessible. This specific location has plenty of places to eat. We were familiar with the neighborhood, so it wasn't hard for us to maneuver around. Vaughn's place was clean and as described in photos. He stocked the place with different choices of coffees and teas. Even had bottled water in the fridge and cookies in the jar! :D
Cons: If you are not used to walking, then this place will not fit you. NYC alone requires lots of walking and Vaughn's place is further distance from the only subway in the neighborhood. This is a basement level apartment, so you will hear noise from upstairs.
Other than that, I give Vaughn 5 stars and we will definitely return when visiting.
