This was our first trip to New York, and Dorina made us feel right at home. We flew in from Europe, and we were exhausted. We knew we wanted to get something to eat, and Dorina offered to walk with us down to a local restaurant. Once we got down into the comfortable studio though, we decided we were too tired to head back out. I texted Dorina to tell her thank you...and she responded several minutes later with an offer to bring us some homemade ravioli. It was delicious! Her studio is a wonderful place to stay...very spacious, clean, and quiet. The refrigerator was even stocked with some breakfast supplies...which came in handy. Since we'd already been traveling for two weeks, we needed to so some laundry. Dorina made the washer and dryer available and showed us how they worked. That was a tremendous help...and so greatly appreciated! She also accepted delivery of our baseball tickets and had them in the studio when we arrived. The neighborhood is quiet and safe; we walked back there from the subway several nights after midnight. Dorina was always available if we needed help navigating through the transit system; she even had a transit map down in the studio and the number to a taxi service that was wonderful. If I have the opportunity to go back to New York, I would love to stay at Dorina's place again. She is kind and knows the area well.
