Vashti is an incredibly kind person. I felt very welcome at her home and she provided me with everything I needed for my stay. If you need anything just ask her, she is happy to oblige. We didn't see each other often due to our schedules, but when I did run into Vashti, she was sweet and asked me how everything was going. Her place is only a few blocks from the A & C subway lines which can take you right into Manhattan. I definitely recommend staying with her. Thanks again Vashti!
