I was lucky to stay at Rob&Elle's house! This is my first time going to New York. Elle not only gave me detailed instruction on how to go there, but picked me up at the ferry station. This made my trip much easier! The room is comfy and cozy! It is like an independent studio; privacy is guaranteed! Elle was considerate enough to provide everything a traveler might need, even including a treadmill. I also like her lovely garden and enjoyed chatting with her there. It made me feel I was not there for a conference, but on vacation. If I'll have a chance going back to New York and if the room is available, I'll definitely stay there again!
