I had the most wonderful stay at Juliet's place. It's really great value for money as the room is huge by NYC standards. I always felt completely cosy in the room and safe in the neighbourhood. What I appreciated most, however, was Juliet's kindness. My suitcase was left behind in South Africa and she not only lent me a warm jacket to brace the cold weather, she was also happy to look out for my suitcase as she was home on the day of delivery. She was also eager to help in any way, offering tips about NYC, making sure I was happy and going to the trouble to write out instructions on how the coffee machine worked after I couldn't seem to figure it out. At the same time, the setup of the house (you basically share a little apartment with bathroom and kitchen at the top of the house with a few other guests) means you never have to make small talk with hosts or interact if you don't want to. Blessings on you and your family, Juliet!
