Awsome

All over our stay was really excellent, Kurt a very nice host who takes care of his guests and has a lot of recommendations where to go for dinner and is also talking about the neighbourhood and gives some insights who lives here. To get into Manhattan city is really convenient. You take the subway and can easily move to a lot of spots which are interesting in New York.
