I absolutely loved staying in Halona's home. In my opinion it was better than the pictures. She was very welcoming and helpful when I had any questions. French. press. coffee. That speaks for itself. This is somewhere you would stay when you want a comfortable, welcoming and eclectic place and not a cold, sterilized hotel room experience. She has beautiful art on the walls, a gorgeous view of her garden out of the bedroom window and lots of space to sleep or relax. On a nice night, sitting out in the backyard is quite relaxing. The walk from the closest subway is, at most 10 mins and the subway ride into Manhattan can be 15-20 mins. I would definitely come back and recommend staying here to anyone who wants to visit New York City. I can't stress enough how amazing Halona is.
