Pierce is a terrific host! He is right on top of communication, and was very friendly! His home is charming. It's warm and cozy and very clean. He kept his fridge well-stocked, which was a great surprise for us to have water, milk, half & half, some fruits and even a frozen food dinner if we needed it! Coffee and tea were also available. He had a welcoming bowl of candy and assorted cough drops and throat lozenges as well! The bathroom has all of the amenities: extra soap, shampoo, small toothpaste, etc. His bath towels are big wrap arounds and soft and fluffy! We found the bed to be very comfy. Nice, big TV, too! It's not a far walk from the subway, and a few minutes walk to delicious bakeries, diners, shops, etc. It's on a charming street across from a park-- a lovely, residential and family-setting. Very quiet, very secure.
He also has a pretty back yard, which we could not take advantage of this time because of the weather. However, there's a grill in the backyard, and a beautiful meditative garden. We have family in the neighborhood, and it was convenient for us, but beyond that-- his place is so charming and inviting that we hosted a brunch there as well.
We will definitely book his place again!
