🏳🌈✨ YOUR NYC RESET — SAFE, PRIVATE & INTENTIONAL
Welcome to a calm, grounded NYC retreat designed for comfort, privacy and a real reset — especially for LGBTQ+ travelers looking for a space where you can fully be yourself. Arrive, exhale and feel at ease.
🏙✨ THE SPACE
Enjoy a private master suite with a California king adjustable bed, 65” smart TV, and peaceful Hudson River + treetop views. Your bedroom is completely private; the kitchen, bathroom and entry are shared, clean and respectfully maintained. The layout naturally gives guests their own environment.

🌿 HUDSON + NATURE
Explore nearby Hudson River scenery, walking trails and neighborhood finds. If our schedules align, I’m happy to share some of my favorite trails, food and local experiences.
🧠✨ ABOUT YOUR HOST
I’m Chris — grounded, easygoing and intentional about the environment I create. I bring 13+ years of healthcare experience across Optum / UnitedHealthcare, infusion therapy and specialty pharmacy. I’m bilingual in English/Spanish and clinically trained in massage therapy at Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences in NYC.
More than anything, I enjoy creating a space where people can arrive as themselves and genuinely feel at home.
🧘🏽♂ BODYWORK + BREATHWORK — OPTIONAL
For guests interested in deeper relaxation, recovery and connection, I offer professional bodywork through MASTER MASSAGE NYCTM and guided breathwork and connection practices through TANTRA NYCTM.
My clinical massage training includes anatomy, kinesiology, neurology, movement and therapeutic bodywork. MASTER MASSAGE NYCTM grew from that training and my belief that caring for the body can help us slow down, reconnect and become more present.
TANTRA NYCTM came from something more personal. Growing up in Effingham, South Carolina, in the Bible Belt, I understood what it could feel like for men to be uncomfortable with closeness, vulnerability, affection or simply being fully present with another man.
I created this practice to explore another possibility: a safe, respectful space centered on breath, presence, trust, connection, body awareness, and becoming more comfortable in your own body and with another person.
These practices can be experienced individually, with a partner or in a small shared setting. Some guests simply decompress. Others explore breath, presence, trust and deeper human connection.
Clear boundaries, consent and mutual respect are always foundational. Nothing is rushed and nothing is expected.
Professional massage sessions are available at a preferred guest rate. Breathwork, mobility, stretching and simple body-awareness practices can also become part of your experience depending on your interests and comfort level.
🦁 MAKE THE STAY YOUR OWN
Explore NYC, relax poolside, walk along the Hudson, connect, receive bodywork or simply close the door and decompress. There’s no expectation that your stay has to look a certain way.
🐈⬛ BONUS — BOBO
Bagheera (“Bobo”), my calm, friendly black cat, adds his own peaceful energy to the space.
🦁 FINAL FEEL
Come to explore. Come to reset. Come because you want somewhere you can simply be yourself.
Leave feeling more rested, grounded, connected and cared for than when you came.

I had a great stay at Chris's place. It's a good location to explore the Bronx. The bedroom is spacious, clean, and comfortable with an absolutely massive TV. Your area is sectioned off and surprisingly private. Chris himself is a wonderful guy. I spent some time with him by the pool and had some great conversation. I also took advantage of his massage, and it was legitimately one of the best massages I've had. I would definitely recommend the place to stay
I had a wonderful experience and stay with Chris. From the time of booking leading up to check-in, he was quick to respond and gave helpful information about recommendations and check-in. The front desk staff was just as accommodating as he was, and helped me throughout the stay as well. His attention to detail, cleanliness, and care for my stay was impeccable. I unfortunately had to make last minute travel plans, and he was very understanding about it.
What a relaxing getaway! We had a lovely stay with Chris, who is not only the consummate host but a truly kind, gentle and open soul. As promised, the apartment is a wonderfully cozy space with a great balcony (and swing!), and the neighborhood is surprisingly peaceful — an oasis away from Manhattan bustle. Chris was completely accommodating of our late arrival and made us feel welcome with touches like water and snacks ready to go. Can’t recommend the massage and breathwork enough... by far the highlight of our stay, especially after I ran the Brooklyn Half and needed some of those lower-body knots worked out. Chris really took the time to listen closely to my body, sense intuitively which muscle groups needed the most recovery, and get the pressure and motions just right. The breath work was also a delightful surprise and something we’d never done before — a truly connected, meditative, grounding experience after a tiring weekend of running and travel. We’d originally booked one night... and we were having such a great time chatting, laughing, sharing our stories, and dancing the night away that we decided to extend for a second. We found an amazing connection and a new friend we hope to see again, both here and back home (he’s welcome to visit us on the west coast anytime). Book Chris’s place and experience a totally different side of NYC!
I came here as a retreat from home to work on some paperwork...and maybe a massage or two. What it turned out was a retreat for in depth thought, conversation, breathing, and massage therapy. I recommend staying at least two nights with Chris. Pictures and descriptions are accurately described. Chris is more than just a host. I came away recalibrated to deal with the real world again. Chris is an amazing person. I am so lucky we connected. You will be, too!
Chris was an amazing host and made the entire stay feel welcoming, relaxing, and genuinely restorative from beginning to end. Communication was excellent throughout the trip and everything felt easy and seamless from arrival onward. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and had a really warm energy to it. The adjustable California king bed slept amazingly, there was always bottled water stocked in the fridge, and Chris was extremely accommodating and down to earth throughout the stay. We had some really great conversations about healthcare, wellness, Broadway, life, and the body. He also introduced me to Bagheera Bobo 🐈⬛ who definitely added to the experience. The building itself felt very safe and easy to navigate with a helpful concierge/doorman setup, which made coming and going stress free. I also accidentally left my umbrella behind while rushing out early, and Chris caught it before I left and made sure I got it back, which honestly says a lot about the kind of person he is. Overall just a genuinely great experience with a kind, thoughtful host. I’d absolutely stay again and would highly recommend booking with him ⭐
My stay with Chris was great! He was very welcoming, the room was super comfortable and clean. I really enjoyed getting to know him and Bobo in between my New York adventures. It was my first time doing a misterbnb and he super nice and made the process super easy. Also, do yourself a favor and get a massage from him as well!
Dakota, seriously thank you again for such a great review and for bringing really good energy into the space. I'm glad your first Misterbnb experience felt easy and welcoming because that's exactly what I try to create here. I really enjoyed getting to know you, hearing about your photography journey, and seeing the amazing shots you captured around the city. And honestly, it was an honor being your first clinical massage experience too. I'm glad you got to experience the reset that intentional bodywork and breathwork can bring. Thanks again brother ✨
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and I especially enjoyed connecting with Chris. He is an impeccable host, and he is a great conversationalist. I felt as if I had known him for years already. Chris' place is very clean and comfortable, and it is conveniently located near many shops and restaurants. I booked a massage with Chris during my stay which was incredible. I highly recommended his place. Thank you again for everything. Johnny
Chris was a great host — communication was smooth and everything was as described. The space was clean and comfortable, and check-in was easy with the front desk already aware of our arrival. Chris helped make parking simple with a guest pass. He showed us how to use the motion bed, not that we had the opportunity to use any functions. We shared fun stories about gay cruises to randomly getting into the song Rasputin and playing it on Alexa, which made for a really fun and memorable moment.
5 stars — Incredible stay! Chris's place is beautiful — a safe, secure, doorman building, spotless, and in a great neighborhood with amazing food. The room was perfect, super comfortable, and exactly what I needed. There's also a subway stop just a short walk away with a quick ride to Central Station. Chris is a genuine spirit — we stayed up late singing karaoke, laughing, and sharing stories. He made me feel really welcome. Highly recommend!
Chris's place is a lovely respite from the city. The botanical gardens are a 15 min drive from here. There are walkable restaurants and shops from the apartment. Easy to get in and out of the building. Chris is wonderful!
