Good place to stay and Chris is easy to get along with. I recommend
Jun 27, 2019This was an excellent place with a most exceptional host. A great area with plenty to do. It's quiet and cozy. I had everything I needed for my first week in the city. Christopher was more than willing to help me with anything I might have needed. It was a pleasure staying with him! I highly reccomend it!
Jun 27, 2019Had a great time staying with Chris. He's a great host, very helpful, very accomodating, and quite flexible. His place was perfect, neat, clean, and very centrally located. I would stay with Chris again.
Jun 27, 2019The place was very easy to find, just a few blocks from Union Square. Incredibly convenient. There are plenty of places to eat and shop right nearby. I found the space to actually be a little larger than I imagined from the photos. It's very neat and clean. Chris was great. We didn't really get to spend much time talking because I was on the move most of my time but he was there when I arrived and seemed like a great guy. I would definitely recommend Chris' place to anyone else travelling solo. I don't know if Chris makes it available to couples but the bed might be a little tight with two.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was very flexible and a perfectly pleasant host.
Jun 27, 2019the description of the apartment is clean and real,luminous ( The sun illuminates the room very well) and easy access by metro. the bed is very comfortable. this is my first experience with AirB&B and I have good experience I liked the location of the apartment,2 block of Union Square, the neighborhood is very alive, there are good restaurants, bars and shopping. Chris was very quiet and he take careof my needs and answer to all my questions. definitely I recommend Chris's apartment I spent very little time in the apartment, I spent my day outside visited the city :-))
Jun 27, 2019it was perfekt for what i wanted: a friendly, clean, good located place in manhattan
Jun 27, 2019Had a great - but short - stay in NYC. Christopher’s apartment was the ideal location for my 24 hours in New York. Dropped off my bag at 8 in the morning and didn’t return until 12 hours later. Christopher directed me to a pizza place near his house (Patsy’s) and I had one of the best pizzas ever! His apartment is located in the East Village so you’re in the middle of things. A short walk from Union Square and the subway (and Milk Bar just down the street for great desserts). It was the ideal place to crash for the night. Christopher was a great host and very accommodating, although we only spoke probably a total of 45 minutes. A great way to experience NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a kind and upbeat host. The room is spacious and well-furnished and the entire apartment is clean and maintained. Great place to stay, hassle free arrangement. Highly recommended.
Jun 27, 2019I had a great stay at Christopher's place. He is a fantastic host. His place is clean and convenient.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is very cool. I had a surprise overnight in the city and he helped me in a pinch. Moreover, a very chill, welcoming guy. Worth noting: Flyers fan! -smile.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a very nice guy who made everything very easy and confortable during my stay. The house is great, clean and in a great location, and the room is very spacious and confortable. If I ever go back to NY, I would like to stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019The place is just as expected...the room itself probably nicer than I expected. I had several changes of plans around when I was available to "check in" and Chris was really patient and understanding although I suspect he had plenty of other things to do - so if this place looks like what you are after, go for it. Thanks Chris!
Jun 27, 2019It was a clean, well-lighted place in an awesome neighborhood, and Chris was very nice and helpful! Perfect for someone who sports eco-lifestyle as well!
Jun 27, 2019Chris was very friendly and helpful. He was very clear about all of the parameters of his apartment. I found everything about my stay satisfactory in every way.
Jun 27, 2019great location, spacious room with a nifty loft bed, and best of all - a gracious host! I definitely recommend staying here if the room is available
Jun 27, 2019Chris was super friendly and easygoing. An airbnb pro he was organized, helpful and easy to communicate with. I only spent one night but it went as smooth as can be. The apartment itself is in one of the best areas of New York and the sunny and spacious room is like having your own little studio.
Jun 27, 2019Chris responded quickly to any questions I had before and during my visit and was able to accomadate my slightly late arrival-and i could leave my bags for a slightly late departure. He was welcoming and helpful. With the fan and the window the room was cool, whereas it was a very hot, humid day. The location is superb. It's a great neighborhood. The room was comfortable and practical.
Jul 27, 2019I stayed here for 3 nights and I really liked it. The room is bigger than expected and you find everything you might need in the appartment (so I don't need that much cause I am more out in the city). Chris is a very nice guy and he tries to make a lot possible for guest to check in and out. Thanks for that. And he knows a really good cafe just around the corner to hang around and watching people sitting at the sidewalk. Go for that. East Village is a nice area to stay during day and night with a lot of small shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was being very helpful and answered all my questions (million of them). He pointed to me where I could go for sightseeing, meals, getting thretre tickets, etc. He was also very nice and allowing flexible check in and check out time (of course after agreeing from both sides). He was very organised and clean as well. He even made a handbook for the room! I would recommend people to stay there if they travel to NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a great guy. His place is very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I'll look to him again on my next visit to NY.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is the best host a traveller can ask for. He took me for a long walk right after I arrived, had beer and dinner with me. He was very helpful and willing to answer all my questions regarding NYC. The appartment despite the small size was comfortable, perfectly clean and of the best location. I definitively recommend Chris and his appartment!
Jun 27, 2019Staying at Chris´s place was a really wonderful experience, the apartment is sunny, cozy and absolutely neat. Chris is very friendly, he provides all kind of helpful information either for going out ( restaurants brochures, subway map) or to make your stay comfortable with a detailed manual of house rules and info on how everything works, which becomes very handy. He even helped arrange a shuttle to JFK airport using his own computer and phone, as mine wasn't working well. I definitely recommend Chris as a host, he is open to chat and very respectful about privacy.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a wonderful person to stay with. An accommodating host with a comfortable place in the perfect neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for better conversations with someone who knows a lot of the history of the location and the best places to go explore. I would definitely recommend him to anyone staying in NYC and if I go back, I wouldn't even bother trying to find a different place. Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019I had a wonderful stay at Chris' place. He was so helpful and flexible despite my flight getting delayed and my very early wake up times. He even helped me carry my heavy suitcase, a real gentleman! His flat was clean, nicely decorated and the room much bigger than I expected. The only downside was that I stayed there during a very harsh heat wave and had trouble sleeping, but this didn't keep me from really enjoying my stay. I would undoubtedly stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019Chris' place is great !!! Ideally situated to discover New York, with Union Sq. subway lines and its central position. Also the lively East village is a great neigborhood to stay. The room is comfortable and the host very nice and helpful if you need it. Highly recommended !
Jun 27, 2019Première expérience avec airbnb suite a des recommandation d'un ami. En fait j'ai ete agréablement surprise par le process de vérification au moment de la transaction. C'est en même temps rassurant et on s y sent accompagné. Le séjour très court (1 nuit) chez Christopher s est très bien passe. Le quartier est très sympa et animé. Au premier abord l immeuble semble un peu glauque. Immense couloir bleu clair, tres (Website hidden by Airbnb) fait un peu coupe gorge. Mais arrivant a 17h je n etais pas trop inquiete. Apres avoir grimpe 4 etages avec ma valise je suis arrivee dans un apprtement petit mais tres sympa et Christopher m a tres bien accueillie. Il m a montre la chambre , la cuisine, la salle de bains et les modalites de fonctionnement des differents appareils dont je serai potentiellement amenée à utiliser, qq conseils pour les Resto autour et le jogging du lendemain. La chambre est privee, le lit en mezzanine . Ce nest pas bruyant, prevoir des lunettes de nuit si vous etes sensibles a la lumiere du jour car aux US il est rare que les rideaux soient occultants et encore plus rare qu il y ait des volets !!!! Christopher dort ds le même appart dans une autre pièce dans un espace délimite par des paravents, ce qui permet d aller à la cuisine et à la salle de bains sans se déranger mutuellement. Salle de bains étroite mais on est à NY !!!!!!! Christopher a même eu la gentillesse de m offrir une place de croisière sur la Hudson river dont il avait bénéficié lui même ! Sympa ! Je recommande vivement ce logement, surtout si vous êtes seul (e). A deux c'est jouable aussi. L appart de Christopher et le quartier tout autour font vite oublier l'entrée et le couloir un peu glauques de l entrée de l immeuble !!!
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a fantastic host and I cannot recommend him highly enough. The room was spacious, comfortable and in a fantastic part of Manhattan. I would certainly stay here again without hesitation.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is very nice, convenient and very well located. Christopher gave me some good restaurant addresses. He was always free to discuss and to inform me. We shared some excellent dinners and our discussions were very interesting. Actually Christopher is more than a host: he is a roommate, which can be discrete, but available if you propose/ask something. I definitely recommend this place.
Jun 27, 2019The reason I am not giving this stay a very high mark has to do with the Internet service. I had stayed at Chris's place for a month, and at the reservation time had one requirement - that the Internet service be reliable and fast. Chris confirmed it but the reality was different. I was getting constantly kicked off of the Internet (loosing the signal). This was after the Sandy storm so it is possible that things changed due to the storm. However it did not seem to me that Chris was doing much in spite of my complaints. He finally called the provider two weeks into my stay. Also the smaller room in which he sleeps is on the way to the room in which you will stay, so you will always have to go through his room in order to enter yours. I only realized that once I was there. Other aspects of my stay were fine.
Jun 27, 2019I liked a lot staying at Chris's apartment. He's not only a great host but also a great person, very kind, polite and helpful. He keeps the apartment very neat and cozy, and with me everything worked properly. I thought the location is very good too, since it's a block away from a subway station, that I used to use everytime. Concluding, I thought it was a very good choice, and I recommend it. If I come back to New York City, I'm sure I'll look for Chris again.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a great host! The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. It is also located in a great area that was walking distance to good shopping and restaurants. The apartment is close to a train station as well, so it was very convenient.
Jun 27, 2019Chris has a lovely place in a wonderful part of New York, the East Village. It's also very close to Union Square which is a major hub. The room is very spacious and comfy. The whole apartment has a lovely, calm vibe to it, which is nice to come home to after a day out and about. Chris himself is a great guy, very genuine and has an awesome life philosophy. He is well set up to receive guests and has a good welcome book and guide.
Jun 27, 2019Chris really was the perfect host. He was always responsive, always helpful, always easy-going and attentive, but definitely let me have my privacy. The room was very clean and welcoming. There's a desk and a TV and a bed and a table. The room is very spacious with high ceilings. The current photos really don't do it justice. There *is* a bedroom door and it does close (it's hard to ascertain this from the photos) and it's very private. It has a nice view of this East Village street and the neighborhood is awesome and central to everything, incredibly easy to get to. I stayed here for an entire week during a workshop and interviews for grad school and honestly, if I hadn't had this safe haven in the country's biggest city, I'm not sure how I would have otherwise fared. But I had a great week. Ask Chris anything. He answers promptly and thorougly. And really is just a terrific person. It can be a nerve-racking thing to hurl yourself across the country and book an apartment, but with Chris, you're in great hands.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a generous host and he was helpful as much as he can his apartment was so clean and comfortable and my room was very clean and i liked the decoration of the room .the Internet was perfect the also the neighborhood was amazing it was just 15 min by subway to time square and 5 min to union square... Defiantly I will come back there nex time Viva Chrisss ;) Amin elshazly
Jun 27, 2019Christopher was a great host. Very nice and helpful. He offered me a lot of help to get to know NYC. The room was great, just as advertised (I don't think the pictures do it justice tough, it's larger than what appears in the photos).
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a great guy and a good host. The apartment is a fifth floor walk-up, which Chris will clarify with you before coming, but it's in the coolest hood in town and the room is huge and comfortable. I definitely plan on staying with Chris again.
Jun 27, 2019I stayed with Chris when I was visiting my daughter at NYU. The location in East Village is only steps away from NYU as well as close to the MTA and the all amenities the East Village has to offer. Chris is a very gracious host (even helped me lug a huge bag for daughter down 5 flights of stairs to the cab) and I felt like I was staying with a friend as opposed to renting a room. WiFi worked perfectly and the guest room also has a large flat screen TV. I'll stay with Chris the next time I visit my daughter at NYU.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a really great host! He was always easy-going, very accomodating, and quite flexible. I stayed 7 days in his very well placed (close to Union square), clean and comfortable appartment, The space seems to be a little larger than I imagined from the photos. I would stay with Chris again for sure. I recommend staying here!!
Jun 27, 2019I needed a place for couple of days on my way to NC wanted to stop in NYC for 3 days. Did not wanted to be on taxi for every place I wanted to go and wanted to be in walking distance from anything I needed such as bars, clubs, restaurants etc. Great location.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is very well placed. My host was friendly and helpful which made my stay pleasant.
Jun 27, 2019Chris' apartment was so convenient to Union Square and an excellent place to stay. Comfortable bed and private space and Chris is a great host and an excellent communicator.
Jun 27, 2019Great location and very kind and helpful host. The bed was very comfortable as well.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a very welcoming host. His apartment was nice and clean, and the room I stayed in was well-furnished. It was my first time in NYC, and as a tourist, it was a convenient location because it's close by to the subway. Also, East Village is an awesome neighborhood with many places to eat/drink.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a great host and provided for all my needs, including subway directions. The room is very private and comfortable, although it was quite hot the days of my stay as there was only a small AC unit in another room and a small floor fan in the guest room.
Jun 27, 2019My stay with Chris was awesome, his place is in a great location and I quickly learned how to get around the city from the apartment.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is one of the nicest guys I have ever met! He is such an incredible host and his place is fantastic!
Jun 27, 2019Chris is an outstanding host! The room is well kept plus it is bright and sunny during the day. The location could not be better with access to the subways just a block or two away. I would definitely recommend contacting Chris to book your stay in NY.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, very clean and spacious room and surprisingly quite for NY. Chris is great host and was very accommodating.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was an incredible host during all the time. He gave me very good advices, take the time to search answers at every questions you can have, and he's worried of your comfort. For the apartment, he's has a perfect situation in the city, between Low Manhattan and Central park, with the Union Square metro, you can go in all directions and quickly reach the famous monuments of NYC. The bed is clean and comfortable, bedroom is big and enough, there are all informations in a ring binder (foods, clothes, monuments, transport). In short, I definitely recommand this apartment, you won't be disapointed.
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic helpful host! Felt very welcomed! Perfect location! Thank you Chris!
Jun 27, 2019Very good location, and Chirs is so nice, thank for your help, I'll be back soon~
Jun 27, 2019I stayed with Chris for 4 nights on a holiday trip. His appartment is very easy to reach and located right in the heart of Manhattan. The room was well furnished and everything needed was there, even a TV to come home to after a long day eploring the city! Chris is a very welcoming, helpful person and made my stay a pleasant experience, with lots of tips and hints on where to go. I would like to stay at his place again another day.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is just like advertised, everything was clean and in order, the location is great, all what you want is available in the area, Subway, Laundary, Grocery ... etc. Chris was amazing, I particularly appreciate the fully detailed information and tips he provided. we rarely saw each other, but he always offered help and advice about where to go and what to do. definitely recommend Chris's place to other Airbnb users.
Jun 27, 2019The location is great, the room is a nice size, and I slept well. Chris is really organized, friendly, and helpful. I enjoyed my visit, and hope to stay at his place again!
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a fantastic host. He is very conscientious and will work to make sure your stay is comfortable. Plus, his space (while cozy) is charming and in a super location in the Village. Recommended.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was great. The room was large and airy. Chris was so helpful with giving me directions from the airport and to get me started with the subway system to see New York. The place was clean and in a great neighborhood. Thanks Chris!
Jun 27, 2019Chris was super nice and informative. He made sure I felt at home right off the bat. The apartment was very clean and the room was bigger than expected. This apartment is also in a great neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019I had never stayed or even visited East Village...Talk about location! Tons to do in the immediate area with a good selection of restaurants, bars, etc. Chris' place is exactly as shown in pics. The living space is quite small so I kept mainly to my room. He is warm and welcoming and was flexible on my check-in as my flight ran a little late. He's quick to answer via text and communicated quite clearly. I absolutely loved the spacious room and how tidy the apt is. He has a guidebook that was helpful, take a peak, it's worth it! You won't care about the 5 flights of stairs once you settle in. Chris, I'm so grateful for the true New York experience. Thx again and I look forward to booking with you when I return to visit my son in the future!
Jun 27, 2019It was my first airbnb experience and Chris was very accommodating and helpful. The location was perfect; close to everything and anything New York has to offer. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 weeks over Winter and would definitely recommend it to anybody. Thanks Chris!
Jun 27, 2019I have stayed here before and it is always a great place to crash. Chris is a pleasure to deal with and the apartment is clean with everything you need. Great value.
Jun 27, 2019My stay at Chris's apartment suited me very well. Chris was available if needed, clear about expectations and did not infringe upon my space. The apartment was clean and the room was surprisingly quiet for the location. I would gladly stay here again and have no concerns about recommending it to anyone else.
Jun 27, 2019My stay with Chris was very delightful and comfortable. The room is definitely bigger than in the photos! Chris was very accommodating and helped resolve a problem with my schedule. He definitely gave me a great first impression of New York! Thanks Chris! See you soon hopefully.
Jun 27, 2019This is my usual spot when I stay in NY. Always clean and comfortable. Perfect location and a breeze to deal with.
Jun 27, 2019The room is really excellent, and larger than expected from the pictures. It is very quiet, and located perfectly for exploring Manhattan, close to Union Square subway (lines going both east-west and north-south). I love the neighborhood in the East Village! Chris is a very helpful person and an excellent host, and I've no problems recommending his room to other travellers. I'll come back to Chris appartment next time I visit New York.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a good host. He was there to deliver the key, and gave me short and clear guidance to the apartment and the neighborhood of NY. The location is excellent (<5 min walk to Union square). Lots of good coffee places in the street.
Jun 27, 2019Easy going, very accommodating in a really nice location. Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019I really enjoyed staying there! Chris' place was spacious, welcoming, and clean. Confirmed our stay right away and made the whole process easy! Thanks Chris!
Jun 27, 2019Chris was very accomodating for my situation. The place was very nicely decorated and clean!
Jun 27, 2019My stay was comfortable. The place is clean and organize. Chris is friendly and professional. The bathroom is a bit small but manageable. Overall, good value for short stay in NY.
Jun 27, 2019Listing was accurate and neighborhood was perfect.
Jun 27, 2019Great host and cozy room! Everything was very smooth and simple, Chris is a very nice guy and my stay at his place was very pleasant. Recommended!
Jun 27, 2019Excellent host, fair price for the accommodations. Overall it was good stay for my first AirBnB experience. The last time I was in NYC I stayed at Affinia Shelburne which cost me $200+ a night and I hardly stayed in my room so if you do the math it's not really a good bang for your buck. The room was cozy and I had enough space to relax after a day of walking around the city. There were minor caveats but they were not a deal breakers for me - but it might be for someone reviewing this. First the building is old and there's no elevator so if you have knee/physical problems walking up & down 5 flights of stairs several times a day could pose a problem. Second there's no central air conditioning, there's a fan in the room that kept me cool enough but if you're from a colder climate and like to sleep at a cold temperature this could be an issue for you. Chris was a very helpful host he answered all my concerns and gave good advice on subway traffic. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area.
Jun 27, 2019It's a really nice to live in NYC! Chris is a nice guy who will answer all the questions! The room is bigger and better than the picture!
Jun 27, 2019It was great! Chris was such a nice man and very accommodating. He helped me with my luggage up 5 flights of stairs and was so easy to get a hold of. He communicated a lot and the location was safe! His plan was clean and a lot of space!!!
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a excellent host. Perfect location in the east village and the room was bigger then it seemed in the photos. Made my first Airbnb experience like I was right at home. Definitely recommend this booking
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a very nice and friendly host,The house is in a good location near the Union Square,very clean and quite,I like the room! I will miss the period lived in there!
Jun 27, 2019This was my first airbnb experience and it was great. Chris was very nice and hospitable. The location is great and the room is very comfortable. It is worth mentioning that the bathroom is quite small but it was not a big issue for me. I would happily stay with Chris again next time I'm in Manhattan.
Jun 27, 2019This was my second time staying with Chris. Great location, clean, big room for NY, and most importantly he is a genuinely nice guy. Recommended!
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a very easy going and helpful person. I arrived extremely late on a Wednesday and he was still very welcoming. Made my stay very comfortable. Chris was also very helpful with the questions I had and went out of the way to help me with directions. The room I stayed in was very spacious and well furnished. A great experience for my first trip to New York.
Jun 27, 2019Casa accogliente e camera soddisfacente, forse il bagno un po' meno . Posizione ottima per visitare Manhattan, vicino a Union Square e linee della metropolitana. Chris è una persona molto disponibile, è stato un soggiorno tranquillo senza nessun problema, check-in e check-out perfetti. Consiglio casa di Chris anche se l'appartamento è al 5° piano senza ascensore.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was an excellent host. Very nice, hospitable and helpful with the questions. He helped me with my luggage up 5 floors. The room is very comfortable, clean and big for Nyc. The apartment is in super location in the east village. I love the neighborhood. I enjoyed my 4 weeks and definitely recommended it to anybody. Thanks Chris!!!
Jul 27, 2019My host, at whose place I have already stayed, was helpful and friendly. The place is very well located and reasonably comfortable. I thank Chris for his hospitality and wish him well.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a great host- he was very accomodating and great at communicating. His apartment was centrally located and the room was spacious and light-filled. We had a fantastic time in New York and we would happily stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Chris has been one of the warmest Airbnb hosts I have ever stayed with. Besides the apartment being located in probably one of the best neighborhoods in Manhattan (East Village), you get a really comfortable spacious room with a desk. Chris is also super responsive and makes sure you have a good time there. He has extensive instructions to help you have a smooth experience getting there as well as good informative tour guides for first time visitors. Would definitely love to come back and stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Chris' room was just as expected, providing an excellent stay. The space was clean and Chris provided all the information necessary to make the best of my stay. Chris is a fantastic host, he gave me great advice on the area and was very helpful with checkin and checkout. The area of the East Village he is in is also nice, plenty of places to eat and walking distance to a lot of the sites.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a great host and very respectful of your privacy whilst in his home. The location of his apartment is fantastic on 13th Street - 14th St is a major street and contains a major subway station - lots of cafes/restaurants in the area. The down side for me was the heat, unfortunately I was there at the hottest time in summer and the apartment is very warm. Also I knew the apartment was on the 5th floor and even though Chris was fantastic and carried my heavy suitcase up/down, I'd probably look for an apartment on a lower floor next time.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was an excellent host. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Jun 27, 2019I had a great stay at Chris's apartment in East Village! Location was excellent and very convenient - a few blocks from the Union Square train station and lots of grocery stores and food/restaurant options. Chris was very friendly and responsive to messages - he let me check-in early because the room was ready and let me store my backpack at his place during the day of my departure (much appreciated). The place was clean and looked like what the pictures indicated. The guest room itself is pretty large - almost an apartment within an apartment! The listing does indicate that there is no air conditioning, so just something to keep in mind for those who are traveling in the warm summer months. There is a fan in the room and AC in the living room which helps cool the place down - both of those were very helpful. Overall, I made an excellent choice staying here and would recommend it to others who want to stay in a cute, trendy neighborhood away from all the tourists.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was so help and easy going. I would stay over there again. Union Center is a good location and close to everything.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was an amazing host - very warm, welcoming and accessible. His place is in a great neighborhood and within walking distance from a LOT of things. The listing is accurate and a very comfortable living space. I loved that he was so approachable and happy to sit down for a chat regardless of the time of the day. One of my best experiences so far...I'd definitely come back!!
Jun 27, 2019Good experience staying in Chris' place. Good location for transportations and also hang out.
Jun 27, 2019Quarto espaçoso e localização perfeita. Fácil acesso a lojas e supermercados, além de estação de metrô.
Jun 27, 2019Chris greeted us upon arrival and did a very thorough walk through of the apartment and review of how things worked, where things were, etc. We did our own thing for the days we were there, but Chris was always available, friendly, and helpful. Great location, classic NYC pre-war walk-up type building, very much enjoyed our stay.
Jun 27, 2019Chris' place was perfect for our stay - it's close to the subway, restaurants, & shopping. He was a great host and had tips and helpful information on some great local places. We'd certainly stay with him again!
Jun 27, 2019Chris was very welcoming and accommodating. We were there during the work week and didn't see him much but the space was just as depicted. The East village was awesome! If you are visiting for the food scene this is the place to be! Overall a great experience.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay. Thanks a lot Chris!
Jun 27, 2019Chris made me feel right at home as soon as I came in the door! He is very professional and courteous, and as a solo woman traveler I felt very comfortable in his home. The place is exactly as described, clean, and organized. The location was fabulous, it is very close to the train station, Union Square, and there are many great local spots in East Village. My main reason for travel was to live like a local, with no set plan, and wander the neighborhood. I was able to see most of New York City's charm from this location and felt safe walking to his place at night. I would highly recommend Chris' place!
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a wonderful host! He had everything prepared and labeled. If we had any questions he was quick to answer us. He was also extremely understanding and flexible with check in time! We were very fortunate to stay with him and recommend him!
Jul 27, 2019Great location and great rooms! The host is really nice. Chris' place is definitely a good choice if you wanna explore Manhattan.
Jun 27, 2019I stayed at Chris' apartment for a few days during a business trip to New York, the place is great, 5 minute walk to subway station, bars and restaurants, it is located on a very safe and cool area of the city. Chris is one of the best Airbnb hosts I've met, he's super friendly and has the apartment in a very neat condition. I will recommend him to friends coming to NY and I will definitely look for this apt next time I'm in the city.
Jun 27, 2019Awesome place to stay in the East Village! Chris was very welcoming and nice, very accommodating, and very helpful always. The location was excellent for getting to anywhere else in the city, and is right near Union Square. And despite it being in a busy area, it had a lot of quiet moments. The apartment itself is definitely cozy, but the room where one stays is a big comfortable size. Thank you Chris for a great stay, looking forward to coming back when I'm in the city again!
Jun 27, 2019I had a wonderful time! The location is very good and Chris is very nice
Jun 27, 2019Great stay for a great price!
Jun 27, 2019Chris' house was perfect place for NY traveler. It was easy to access union square subway station. And east village was quiet but full of cafe, restaurants, and bars. Furthemore, room was cosy and fully equipped. The host was kind and always ready to help me. If I have a chance to visit NY again, i will have a reservation this house.
Jun 27, 2019I appreciated being able to stay near where I needed to be, and found Chris to be well-organized, neat, and generous in providing the largest room in his place for guests to stay. He provided a lot of written information for guests, and was open to allowing use of the kitchen. Chris was proactive in offering an iron and ironing board, and experienced in hosting people from different time zones. I appreciated that he checked about coordinating when I expected to be up in case I needed to be somewhere at a particular time. He answered questions about neighborhood resources or transportation when asked. Despite a heat spell, I was able to sleep well in the loft bed, and appreciated that it had a shelf where I could keep my phone to check time in the morning. On arrival, I was a little daunted about bringing my bags up to the fifth floor, but neither the building access nor the neighborhood environment seemed challenging. To reach the guest room, you pass through a sitting area where his sleeping space is walled off by a ceiling-high partition. The lodging is presented as a share, and the written materials do encourage guests to lend a hand by watering plants in their room and stripping the bed upon departure. On the first day, I was a little distracted and accidentally forgot to wash up my coffee-making equipment, but texted him an apology, and when I mentioned it later, he responded graciously.
Jun 27, 2019Zentrale Lage, ein bisschen lsut, mir hat es gefallen
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a good and respectful host, the location of the place is perfect! Thank you Chris!
Jun 27, 2019This place is super-conveniently located in the East Village, only a few minutes walking to great bars, restaurants and Union Square. Chris' place is small, but that isn't news for anyone living in New York. The bedroom that I stayed in, however, is relatively spacious and bright. Chris is a very good communicator before and throughout my stay. If you're coming to New York to explore the city, this place is a good choice. If, however, you're coming to New York and would also like to use your apartment as a place to relax throughout the day, I personally wouldn't recommend it, as it is rather tiny.
Jun 27, 2019As described - good location, clean, well taken care of... But some issues: • No elevator to the apartment on the fifth floor is inconvenient • No power socket near the bed (because bed is elevated) • No air conditioning in the room, and a fan that doesn't reach / aim at the bed. It gets VERY hot (and this was in mid-Sep so summer would be unbearable) and opening the window lets in heaps of mosquitoes that munch you (contra Chris's communication to me that mosquitoes weren't a problem) • More 'House Rules' than one can remember, and Chris seems to be at home a lot, leading to constant tiptoeing around (without shoes, of course, as per rule 34)
Jun 27, 2019Staying at Chris' place was great. Smooth check in, with great communication up to that point. The room is much bigger than it looks in the photos too. Central, with some good breakfast joints and bars nearby. Chris was a real nice guy too, very professional and friendly at the same time. Couldn't have asked for more.
Jun 27, 2019Great place, host and location :)
Jun 27, 2019Chris' place is in a great location, close to the subway and a lot of pubs, restaurants and supermarkets. Chris welcomed us on our first night. For the rest of our stay, communication was mainly through (Hidden by Airbnb) for practical matters (timing for using kitchen and bathroom, checking out,...). So we saw Chris only a few times and for a few minutes, so we can't say a lot about him as a host. The room is big enough for two persons and the kitchen and bathroom are well-equipped.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice place
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a really great guy!! He responds quickly too. I was in a bit of a situation with nowhere to stay and he really helped me out. Excellent location. 10/10 would come again.
Jun 27, 2019This place is a steal for the location, and Chris is a great AirBnB host - quiet, but around if you need him. He gave me an extra blanket because I was cold. I'd a great stay, and thought that the apartment was safe, nice and a great weekend halt.
Jun 27, 2019Perfect place.
Jun 27, 2019Thanks Chris - very much appreciated being able to stay at your pad in the East Village. Really enjoyed Little Poland just around the corner - True New York diner with great Polish food at a good price. Location is in a vibrant area with plenty of cafes and bars. 3 minutes walk from Union Square subway means you can get anywhere in Manhattan very quickly. A great place to stay and see NY! Thanks Again, Ian
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic location & Chris was a terrific host.
Jun 27, 2019Great stay in a nice apartment with a kind host. Will definitely try to stay here again next time I come to Manhattan.
Jun 27, 2019Quirky fun space in the East Village in the middle of everything ongoing in New York. Walk, Bike or Subway to almost anything you want to do at almost any time of day or night
Jun 27, 2019Really lovely room - super clean and great location. Thanks so much Chris :-)
Jun 27, 2019Really nice location! And so cozy room. Chris is really kind host.thank you for everything
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a great host. His apartment is very comfortable and is in a great location for exploring Manhattan, highly recommended.
Jun 27, 2019Chris is a warm host, and his apartment is fantastically located.
