I stayed with Vanessa for two weeks, just after Hurricane Sandy and during the severe snow storm of November, but the basement flat was warm, deceptively large, comfortable, quiet and very cosy. An added very welcome bonus was the television in the bedroom with over 150 channels to look at! Something to very much look forward to after walking in New York !

I met Vanessa and her family and they were all so nice and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them.

The flat is just round the corner from the subway ( 4 line ), and from supermarkets and eating places, which were all very handy. Although it is about a 40 minute journey into central Manhattan, I preferred to stay in the Bronx and with the subway trains running every few minutes, had no problem getting to anywhere in the city.

To finish " Affordable and Cosy " was a fantastic base for my stay and would recommend this flat to anyone who is thinking of visiting New York. A huge thank you to Vanessa for her hospitality, I had an amazing time!
