Gabrielle's place is the best and she's a fantatstic host. She really went above and beyond when our flight was delayed and we had to check-in well after midnight! When we finally arrived at her beautiful home (amazing trees and garden all around!), the porch light was on and she greeted us cheerfully. The "room" (more like a small 1bdrm-room apartment) is exquisitely decorated with great furniture, shag rugs, cool lamps, kitschy sculptures, paintings, prints and coffee table books. The woman has good taste. The kitchenette was well stocked with dishes, paper towels, a huge assortment of teas, coffee, juice, milk, yogurt, cereals, various bars and candies. The bathroom is sunny and pristine. Lucky for us, she had a last minute cancellation just as we decided to stay in the city a second night. Serendipity doo dah. I can't say enough nice things about Gabrielle and her place. Next time I visit my hometown, this is where I'll be staying.
