Carola is a lovely host who enjoys visiting with guests. This is one of 3 rental rooms in her spacious apartment with great city views. She works from home so she's available to answer questions, doesn't mind late night arrivals, and her cats are fabulously friendly (especially Phuket). I was working at a convention at the World Trade Center and her place is an easy, short walk to the WTC, as well as a $6-$12 Uber ride to anywhere I went out at night. It's like a lovely homestay at your favorite Aunt's house.
