If you read through some of Apple’s sample code, you will see their code to do this is generally 3 or 4 lines long.  This seems like a lot of code to perform such a simple task.  Here is a nice one-liner for you to use in your applications.

NSString * docs = [NSHomeDirectory()
						   stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"];

It’s clean and concise. Happy iCoding!
