Santina was a wonderful host and yes, I must include her sweet cat who was always anxious to greet me at the door when I'd return. I'm a rather frequent visitor to NYC and had medical appointments at the hospital complex a few blocks away. The room was very quiet and the windows open to the back yard which isn't a common find in most NYC apartments. The location was perfect for both my obligations as well as a great spot to base from to roam the city as I always do. The nearest subway station is at 77th and Lexington which is less than a ten minute walk and there are bus stops even closer.
